I`m looking to update the title, but I`m afraid that the current rank will drop

  Mile Živković: I think there are much more important factors than title tag, so don`t worry too much :)
• 
  Stockbridge Truslow: Assuming that your company name is still in the page title - you should be fine and barely notice a hiccup.
• 
  Neil Cheesman: Number one on G and you want to change the title - hopefully a VERY good reason behind that imho (if it ain`t broke don`t fix it)
• 
  Perry Bernard: If your website holds #1 for brand search, that`s likely to be very simple to maintain, and one removal of the brand from the page title element is unlikely to have any significant effect. But bear in mind, answering this with complete accuracy is impossible, because it`s one change, one question, one factor, and one person`s search. All come withbackground data not expressed here.
