October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a timely reminder that a single cyber incident rarely stays in one place. The good news is you don't have to navigate that risk alone.

Cyber Liability Insurance can help protect your business when an incident happens, and BPJ can help you find coverage that fits how your company actually runs.

More employees, more equipment, and more customers are all signs your business is doing something right.

Each of these milestones can also bring new considerations worth a closer look, from expanded property and liability needs to updated employee benefits.

As an independent, employee-owned agency, BPJ works for you, not the insurance companies, so we can shop nationwide to match your coverage to where your business is headed.

Let's talk through what your next chapter needs.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of one of BPJ’s founders, Paul Barker, who passed away early this morning at the remarkable age of 102.

Paul’s legacy is woven into the very foundation of Barker Phillips Jackson.

In 1960, Paul Barker and Milton Phillips joined together to form Barker-Phillips. What began as a small Springfield insurance agency would grow over the decades into what we know today as Barker Phillips Jackson — one of the largest and most established independent insurance agencies in Southwest Missouri.

Paul was more than a businessman and insurance professional. According to an interview Paul himself did in 2023 for Ozarks Alive, he was a World War II veteran. He served aboard the USS Bon Homme Richard before returning to Missouri and completing his degree at the University of Missouri. He also spent time teaching American history, world history and civics, and throughout his life maintained a deep interest in history and genealogy.

Perhaps one of the greatest examples of that vision came when BPJ became an employee-owned company in 1987. That decision created an ownership legacy that continues to benefit BPJ associates today and helped shape the culture and company we are so proud to be a part of.

Paul retired from BPJ in 1992, but the company he helped build continued to grow — adding locations, welcoming new agencies and associates, and serving generations of clients throughout Missouri and beyond.

For more than 65 years, the name Barker has been part of BPJ. While we mourn Paul’s passing, we are incredibly grateful for the foundation he helped build, the opportunities he helped create, and the legacy he leaves behind.

All of us at BPJ extend our heartfelt condolences to Paul’s family and loved ones.

Paul lived an extraordinary 102 years, and we are honored that BPJ will forever be part of his story — just as he will forever be part of ours.
Rest in peace, Paul. Your legacy lives on. ❤️
