Another North Shore Agency Acquisition for Duffy Insurance

October 30, 2023 by Owen Gallagher

This is the second-agency acquisition for Duffy in 2023

Duffy Insurance Agency has acquired the assets of the Lauranzano Insurance Agency.

“I am happy to welcome Lauranzano Insurance Agency, its staff and customers into the Duffy Family of Insurance Agencies,” said Marc Duffy, President of Duffy Insurance Agency. “Renee and The Lauranzano Team have done a great job in recent years of growing the business and maintaining a personal connection with their customers, local community and insurance company partners.”

Based in Beverly, Lauranzano Insurance has served the insurance needs of individuals, families and businesses across Massachusetts for over 40 years. Renee Lauranzano, who took over the family insurance agency in 2015, is the current owner and President. According to the terms of the agreement, the Lauranzano Insurance Agency along with its long-time staff members will merge into the Duffy Insurance Gloucester Office.

“The customers of Lauranzano Insurance Agency will continue to enjoy in-house customer service with a strong emphasis on the personal relationship,” noted Duffy in the company’s acquisition announcement. “In addition, customers will enjoy additional product offerings and insurance company options at Duffy Insurance. I couldn’t be more excited to partner with The Lauranzano Team.”
