Renaissance Alliance Insurance Services adds three new independent insurance agencies as members

Renaissance Alliance Insurance Services is pleased to announce the addition of three new member agencies: New Haven CT-based Abbate Insurance Associates, Inc.; Norwood, MA-based Lydon & Murphy Insurance; and Turner Falls MA-based A.H. Rist Insurance Agency.

The three agencies represent $20 million in premium. Renaissance Alliance currently has eighty-five independent member agencies with more than one-hundred locations, as well as affiliations with more than three dozen regional and national insurance carriers and a broad network of insurance vendors and service partners.

Of the three new member agencies, president of Renaissance Alliance Bruce Cochrane says "In growing the Alliance, we seek only the top-tier, highest performing agencies in the region.” He adds that the Alliance recruits and extends membership to only the most forward-looking and progressive agencies that are poised for growth and committed to impeccable standards of personalized client service and industry excellence.

Renaissance Alliance members maintain full autonomy as independent agencies. Membership means access to additional insurers, enhanced profit sharing arrangements, innovative insurance products, specialized marketing expertise, proprietary specialty programs, processing efficiencies, superior technologies and shared administrative services. Cochrane states, "Member agencies secure the clout, economies, services, expertise, and market access of a very large regional organization while still delivering the trusted, local personalized service that has been the hallmark of the independent agency system for generations."
