Dan Bridge, Chairman, President & CEO of Vermont Mutual, stated “The Ward 50 designation is one that is coveted in our industry. It speaks not only to an insurer’s financial acumen and stability, but also to the dedication and expertise required of a company’s employees to achieve such extraordinary results. This recognition stands as confirmation of Vermont Mutual’s commitment to remaining the stable, predictable, and competent partner our policyholders and our independent agents have relied on for 194 years.”
“To find ourselves in the top 2% of insurance companies nationally is an accomplishment we could not be more proud of” remarked Mark McDonnell, Vermont Mutual’s Executive Vice President and COO. “It is a distinction that is due, in no small part, to the strong partnerships we have developed with our independent agents and to the hard work of the entire Vermont Mutual team, all of whom remain dedicated to producing exceptional results year after year.”
