PITTSBURGH, Aug. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockton, the world's largest privately-held insurance brokerage, opened their new, 8,000 square-foot, Class A commercial office space at One Oxford Centre in downtown Pittsburgh. The new office accommodates the firm's current growth modeling that shows a headcount increase of 30% each year, which they are on track to achieve by 2025.

"The city of Pittsburgh is historically known to have entrepreneurialism, growth and resilience in its DNA," said Michael Brodzinski, Senior Vice President and Market Leader of Lockton Pittsburgh. "Moving into our new office during a global crisis parallels these characteristics. Our story is one of organic growth and a commitment to our clients and the Pittsburgh business community. We are here to stay," Brodzinski added.

Since Lockton established itself in Pittsburgh in 2019, the firm has invested in local talent to advise its clients and engage with local stakeholders. In the community, the firm is involved with 412 Food Rescue, Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and most recently raised over $5,500 for the Allegheny County Medical Society Foundation's COVID-19 Front Line Relief Fund.

"With their support through donations raised, we were able to provide personal protective gear to frontline workers in nearly 100 healthcare facilities including the local county and city health clinics," Bonfini added.
