George C. Blanchard and Francis A. Calhoun founded Blanchard & Calhoun in 1919 as a residential and commercial brokerage, property management, and insurance business. The company prospered. In 1951, John Moss became manager of the insurance department, growing it into one of the largest agencies in the area. Three of his sons continue to work for Blanchard & Calhoun. Thomas M. Blanchard, Jr., grandson of the founder George Blanchard became President of Blanchard & Calhoun in 1987. In April of 1997, Blanchard & Calhoun Insurance Agency, Inc. was incorporated. Today our mission is unchanged: We are dedicated to making insurance buying understandable and accomplished with ease. And when a claim occurs, our claims department works with our client, providing advice and counseling. Blanchard & Calhoun is an Independent Insurance Agency that serves its clients first. In recognition of its unique status as a fourth-generation family operated business, Blanchard & Calhoun was the 2011 recipient of Georgia Trend Magazine's annual Family Business Award. We appreciate the opportunity for our "family" to look after your family.
