He continued, This Main Street location solidifies the commitment our company is making to Warwick and its surrounding areas.

“This new location will enable our Stakeholders (agents) to engage like never before to service their clients and increase customer service to levels beyond expectations. As we continue to grow throughout not only the Warwick area, but throughout the region, it is extremely important that we keep the hometown feel in all aspects of our business.
