North Adams and Adams Insurance Agencies Partner with Wheeler & Taylor

August 5, 2024 by AC Editor


Deep Associates, North Adams, and Thompson & Linscott, Adams, join Great Barrington, Massachusetts, firm to give their customers additional insurance products and expertise

Deep Associates Insurance Agency of North Adams, Mass., and Thompson & Linscott Insurance Agency of Adams have recently partnered with Wheeler & Taylor Insurance, the oldest independent insurance agency in Berkshire County.

This strategic partnership aims to expand their insurance offerings on local, regional, and national levels. Despite the new collaboration, both Deep Associates and Thompson & Linscott will maintain their existing names, staff, locations, and management teams.

“With this new arrangement, we can provide additional insurance products, offer specialized expertise, and represent more insurance companies,” said Carrie Kondel, Manager at Deep Associates.

Enhanced Local Autonomy with National Resources

Wheeler & Taylor President J. Scott Rote highlighted the benefits of this partnership for all involved parties.

“By partnering with Wheeler & Taylor, both agencies can do even more for their personal and business customers,” Rote stated. “Local decision-making combined with national resources creates a unique opportunity for agencies like them to preserve their heritage and commitment to the local community while at the same time significantly expanding their access to a broadened marketplace of insurance carriers, knowledge to insure nationwide, and commercial expertise allowing for expanded product offerings.”

Based in North Adams, Deep Associates has over 30 years of experience and is known for its personalized service, offering home, auto, boat, life, and business insurance. Thompson & Linscott Insurance Agency, founded in 1925, provides home, auto, and business insurance with a focus on professionalism and hometown service. Their office is located at 32 Park Street in Adams.

Additionally, Mirick Insurance Agency of Shelburne Falls and Albert B. Allen Insurance Agency of Greenfield have also entered into partnerships with Wheeler & Taylor.
