I'm Brett — founder of James B. Solutions and PIAG's agent for Georgia's printing & imaging industry. I share an office with PIAG HQ in Smyrna and write business, personal and group-health coverage for shops that need a specialist, not a generalist.

A note from Brett

I write coverage like I'd want mine written.

Most agents treat print shops as one more SIC code on a quote request. I don't. I founded James B. Solutions to bring hands-on, specialized service to businesses that the big-box agencies underwrite from a checklist — and printing & imaging is the industry I know best.

As PIAG's agent I get the buying power of hundreds of member shops behind your account. As an independent agency I get the freedom to actually shop your renewal instead of rubber-stamping it. As your neighbor down the hall from PIAG HQ in Smyrna, I get to know your business by name.

Call me direct. I answer my own phone.

What Brett places

Three lines, one relationship

Commercial, personal and group benefits — engineered for graphic communications and reviewed together so the gaps between policies never become a claim you can't collect.

Commercial lines

Business

Property, liability, workers' comp and fleet — built around how print shops actually run. Brett class-codes payroll, values equipment correctly and builds back the pollution exclusions standard policies leave you holding.

  • Cyber, Pollution & Umbrella
Personal lines

Personal

The owner, the family, the things you've built. Auto, home, life and umbrella reviewed alongside the business so coverage gaps between policies never become a claim you can't collect.

Health & Benefits · PIBT

Group health a small shop could never buy alone.

One shop is a rounding error to a major medical carrier. Hundreds are a market. Inside the Printing Industries Benefit Trust, your headcount joins the pool — and underwriters sharpen their pencils for a block of business they actually want to keep. Brett structures your package and runs your open enrollment.

How working with Brett looks

From press floor to bound coverage

A straight line from first conversation to placed policy — and back again every renewal.

01

A real first call

Tell Brett what's on your press floor, who's on your payroll and what you're paying today. 20 minutes, no forms.

02

Market your account

He takes you to the carriers who actively write print risk and leverages PIAG's pooled membership to sharpen the numbers.

03

Side-by-side comparison

Limits, exclusions and price laid out in plain language — with Brett's honest recommendation and the trade-offs.

04

Bind & review every year

Coverage placed, then re-shopped at every renewal as the shop grows. No set-and-forget, no surprise rate hikes.

The PIAG difference

Generalists guess. We know print.

01

Print-industry specialist

Brett writes almost exclusively for the trade — class codes, equipment values, pollution carve-outs and all.

02

Pooled buying power

As PIAG's agent he aggregates member shops into a buying group carriers compete for.

03

Independent agency

James B. Solutions answers to clients, not a single carrier — so renewals get re-shopped every year.

04

One desk, every line

Commercial, personal and group benefits reviewed together so the gaps between policies don't bite.

The things owners ask first

Why work with you through PIAG instead of going direct to a carrier?+
Two reasons. First, specialization — I write almost exclusively for the print and graphic-communications trade, so I know the equipment, the class codes and which carriers actually want this risk. Second, scale — as PIAG's agent I pool member shops into a buying group. A single small business can't negotiate the way that group can.
Do I have to be a PIAG member?+
Commercial and personal lines are open to print, imaging and graphic-communications businesses across Georgia. Group health through PIBT is a membership benefit — and the program savings usually more than cover the cost of joining. I'll be straight with you about whether it makes sense.
How fast can I get a quote?+
Call me direct at (203) 554-8311 or email [email protected]. For straightforward accounts we usually turn around indications within a few business days. Complex programs take a little longer because they're worth shopping properly.
What if I already have a Certificate of Insurance request?+
Use the Request a COI form on the main James B. Solutions site and we'll handle it. Existing clients usually get same-day turnaround.

Let's get your shop quoted.

Tell me about your operation and I'll bring the carriers to you — no obligation, no jargon, just a clear comparison from someone who knows print. Call me direct or send a note and I'll get back the same day.
