Welcome to R&R Insurance

First Insurance Solutions is now R&R Insurance (1)

First Insurance Solutions is now R&R Insurance

In February 2024, Pewaukee-based First Insurance Solutions was acquired by R&R Insurance Services, Inc., a similar independent insurance agency headquartered five minutes away on the Pewaukee-Waukesha border. Both firms are family owned and operated businesses sharing similar values with employees living in and serving the same communities. All employees of First Insurance Solutions will be retained and brought onboard to R&R.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why was First Insurance Solutions acquired?
After the untimely passing of First Insurance Solutions Owner, John Grimes, it was important to John’s family to keep the business going with another family agency that shared similar goals and vision for what John built.
What is R&R Insurance?

FamilySmaller

R&R Insurance is one of the largest independently owned insurance agencies in the Midwest. Family-owned and operated by the Riesch family, we have been serving the region since 1975. We represent top rated national and regional insurance carriers. As a top performer we are granted elite access to markets, products and programs giving us the flexibility to match each client with the best carrier – whether it’s coverage for business, personal or health insurance needs. We work closely with our clients to help determine the best coverage for their company and their families.

Headquartered in Waukesha, WI, Ken Riesch and his three children, Jack, Stephanie, and Bryon, have led R&R Insurance through growth into other Midwestern communities including Neenah and West Bend Wisconsin. His vision continues to be the inspiration for growth and expansion into additional communities throughout the state. It’s just part of the reason we were named the 2023 Best Place to Work by the Milwaukee Business Journal, Small Business of the Year  by Small Business Times, Healthiest Employer of the Year by the Milwaukee Business Journal,  the 2nd largest independent agency by the Milwaukee Business Journal, and listed as one of the Insurance Journal’s Top 100 Independent Agencies in the nation. 

Reinvestment for growth, awesome benefits, career development, innovation, and performance management are just some of the reasons why R&R Insurance is a great place to work and an award-winning agency.  Click here to view the complete list of all our awards and recognitions.
