Our History
Godwin Insurance Agency was founded in 1953 by brothers Grover Godwin and Louis Godwin in Greensboro, North Carolina. In 1970, the Godwin brothers hired Shirley Ray to be the agency’s policy typist. Little did they know then, she would later become one of the first female agency owners in the Carolinas, purchasing the agency she had worked so hard to grow over the prior 20 years. Shirley continues to lead a team of professional insurance agents, well-respected in the industry and the community for their knowledge and integrity.
A Strong Partnership to Better Serve Clients
In October of 2021, Godwin Insurance became part of an even larger team of agents and now operates as a division of Correll Insurance Group, the largest non-bank-owned independent
agency in South Carolina, offering a range of competitive insurance products, for business owners or homeowners. The agency has more than 500 skilled insurance team members across South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Arkansas and provides the Godwin Insurance Agency with access to more markets, which means better options and more competitive pricing for clients.
The name on the door remains Godwin Insurance Agency to honor the hard-earned legacy of trust with which it has long been associated in the Triad area. Together, we focus on providing clients with the appropriate insurance based on their expressed needs and budget.
