The Arizona Group is West Bend’s 2023 New Agency of the Year!

When Sr. Regional Sales Manager Sam Hanson, CIC was tasked with finding the best agencies in Arizona for West Bend to partner with, The Arizona Group Insurance Brokers was one of the first on his list. Founded in 1993 in Gilbert, Arizona, the agency was formed as a practice of specialists capable of managing all their clients’ insurance needs. By being dedicated to finding the right coverage solutions for their clients, they’ve become a highly respected partner of the carriers they work with, their clients, and the community they serve. With offices in Mesa and Tucson, the agency consists of 61 team members, specializing in commercial and personal insurance, as well as group health, individual health, and senior care products.

Agency principals Paul Cyr and Jim Colemere, CIC shared some of the comments from their team regarding their relationship with West Bend.

“I would like to say how amazing it is to work with Jenny Galindo and Tricia Johnson, CPCU , as well as our other underwriters! They are quick to confirm a submission and always call to discuss an account in detail. Even after sending the quote, we call to discuss it together and gather our thoughts.”

“Everyone from West Bend Insurance Company has always been timely and willing to have a real conversation about helping us with as many risks as they can. We know not everything will be a fit, but in each interaction the commitment to the partnership with our agency is evident.”

And our personal favorite, “West Bend has done everything that they promised to do when they came into the state of Arizona.”

While we’ve only been in Arizona for about two and a half years, it’s clear that West Bend is forging profitable, long-term partnerships with agencies like The Arizona Group, who are committed to our mutual success and who understand the value that West Bend brings to the partnership.

“The Arizona Group is a very professional insurance agency that has become a strong partner for West Bend,” said West Bend Director of Sales Tammy Rohlinger, CPCU, CIC . “The agency values relationships; this aligns well with West Bend and has contributed to their success. I am very proud of what they’ve accomplished and look forward to their continued success.”

Congratulations again to The Arizona Group! We’re excited about our future together!
