South-West Insurance Agency was founded in 1908 under the name of Beverly Witt, and Company.  The purpose of the firm was to conduct retail insurance business and handle the purchasing, selling, leasing, and transfer of real and personal property. On February 1, 1914, our firm was incorporated in the state of Virginia, taking the name of South-West Insurance Agency, Inc.  After incorporation, our activities were confined to the general insurance agency business.  

Andy L. Witt was appointed manager, attaining the Presidency of the corporation in 1933.  A. L. Witt's son, Floyd W. Witt, Sr. joined the firm in 1941, becoming President in 1966.  In 1974, Floyd W. Witt, Jr. joined the corporation and became President in 1977.  On January 1, 1995 the board of directors appointed Floyd W. Witt,  Jr. to Chief Executive Officer and Michael L.Allen,President.   

Since our beginning in 1908, the agency's mission has always been to provide unequalled service for our clients and support our community through our volunteer efforts and financial donations. This continues to be our most important objective.
