Dealer Risk Services was founded in 1968 by the Gibson brothers, who from the early beginnings, exhibited the unique ability to place difficult and unusual exposures and quickly settled itself apart from other agencies with an extraordinary commitment to service.

In 1985, Steven Gibson joined his father’s firm to serve as Vice President and Director of Marketing. He provided the company with a new sense of direction and growth and the firm became Gibson Insurance Group.  With increased staff and resources, the Steve Gibson moved the firm to a more specialized focus with a strong emphasis on complex accounts. Gibson Insurance Group gained a reputation as a major writer of Trucking risks and began to target Professional coverage for Architects, Engineers and Garage Liability for the Automotive Industry.

In 2001, Gibson’s company adopted the name Dealer Risk Services and moved its operation to Florida’s east coast. DRS became a dedicated provider of Risk Management Services and insurance placements for the Automotive, Truck, Equipment, and Marine industries.
