ISNE Enters the Connecticut Market
Wellesley Hills, MA - Insurance Services of New England (ISNE), the insurance network built by agencies for agencies, closed out another highly successful year with some exciting news.
The group has announced an expansion into the Connecticut marketplace in 2025 with the addition of eight top-tier independent insurance agencies from the Nutmeg State. As a result, the ISNE network grows in scale to 68 participating agencies in 114 locations across New England.
The new agencies ISNE welcomes to its network are Ahrens, Fuller, St. John & Vincent Insurance, Enfield, CT; Allied Insurance Center, Bristol, CT; Anderson-Meyer Insurance, Inc., Glastonbury, CT; Robert J. Evaristo & Associates, Inc., Ellington, CT; Lindquist Insurance Associates, Inc., Farmington, CT; Rose Insurance, Oxford, CT; Sundel & Milford, Inc., Waterbury, CT; and Thomas Fahy Insurance Agency, Inc., West Hartford, CT. Prior to joining ISNE, these eight agencies were members of the former ACORN Insurance Alliance.
Lee Thompson, ISNE’s executive director, says, “Individually and collectively, these agencies have built excellent relationships with many insurance carriers that we also partner with, shown a great commitment to the highest standard of service, and demonstrated consistent growth and profitability. Our network of Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire participants is thrilled to welcome these longstanding and highly respected Connecticut-based agencies.”
ISNE conducted a thorough and selective qualifying process with the Connecticut agencies. This helps ensure that a potential new participant shares the network’s core values and has the ability to contribute to ISNE’s historically high performance results.
Ed Ruhl, ISNE’s membership sales manager, says, “We take as much time as is needed to get to know an agency and to allow them to ask questions so they can make an informed decision. It’s particularly important that a potential participant understands how our best-in-class performance management approach works and how it can assist them in driving next-level agency growth and profitability.”
This strategic expansion supports ISNE’s long-term success and stability while maintaining the network’s elite standards and benchmark profitability.
