When Shattuck & Grummett’s history began in Juneau, the town was little more than a frontier mining camp.  On January 1st of 1898, when Henry Shattuck and E.F. Cassell established an insurance agency, the oldest insurance agency operating in Alaska today, was born.  By 1900, Henry’s brother Allen, who had come to Juneau with him in 1897, joined him in the insurance agency, now called Shattuck & Company. Allen’s son, Curtis, joined the Shattuck Agency in 1930.

The history of the Grummett Insurance Agency begin in 1945, when Stan Grummett purchased the Juneau Insurance Agency from the Frank Burns Company, who had been operating since 1932.  Following a stroke in 1954 that left Stan Grummett partially disabled, Grace Grummett stepped in to learn insurance and successfully continue the business.

The 1960’s brought new blood to the agencies.  Allen and Roger Shattuck joined their father, Curtis, and Mike and Roger Grummett joined their mother, Grace in the operation of these competing agencies.  The corporation, Shattuck & Grummett, Inc., was formed in 1971 when these two long-time competitors merged.  Howard “Bud” Jaeger joined the firm in 1984 as partner and manager of the newly-opened Mendenhall Valley branch office.

The 1990’s was another time of change for the agency, with a new generation of offspring and partners beginning their careers with the agency.  Rick Shattuck, John Grummett, Ken Grummett, Stacy Grummett, Peter Mores, and Teresa Young all became partners, while Mike and Roger Grummett retired.  The following decade brought more retirements (Roger Shattuck, Allen Shattuck, Howard Jaeger), as the new generation stepped into the leading roles in the agency.

Shattuck & Grummett Insurance now employs more than 20 local staff, and is licensed in seven states.  We are proud of our long history of providing outstanding service to our neighbors.
