Building trust and delivering peace of mind, Gene Jones and Auto-Owners Insurance celebrated 25-years together Monday morning.
This quarter century partnership brings commitment, trust, and reliability to the table from both agencies and is a true testament to the dedication to all the clients they both serve.
“They’re just a good hometown family agency and they exemplify our core values at Auto-Owners, which are honesty, hard work and fostering relationships. I can say more than any other agency that we have that they fit that mold. It’s been a great 25- years,” Montgomery Regional Vice President, Sandra McCullough said.
Gene Jones Insurance was established by Gene Jones himself along with the support of his adoring wife Norma Jones in 1997. Since then, the power duo has grown the company to become a local staple in Millbrook and Elmore County. Gene Jones Insurance Agency provides auto, home, life and business insurance to the River Region area.
Auto-Owners Insurance, located in Montgomery, brings the perks of a big company with a hometown feel. For over 100 years Auto-Owners has been dedicated to the independent agency system, according to their website. Established in 1916, Auto-Owners Group is one of the nation’s largest insurers providing nearly three million policyholders, the website states.
“We are very thankful for our agency’s partnership with Auto Owners. Their values align very closely with our own. Our goal is to cultivate honest relationships with people- to truly care about people- in the process of helping them with their insurance needs. Auto Owners makes that easy because they are a stable company, who offers a quality product and customer service. We trust them and feel confident writing insurance with them,” Gene Jones Insurance representative, Angie Jones said.
Angie went on to state that they have long-lasting partnerships with many of their customers, bringing reliable coverage, exceptional service and protecting what matters most in small town Alabama.
“You want to be a part of a business that has that infrastructure already in place, where they’re about family, they’re about the people in their community, and Gene Jones Insurance embodies that perfectly. They’re in the know because they care, and they really care about their customers and that means a lot to us. You put your policy holders first, and it’s just it’s been a win -win for both of us,” McCullough said.
