The acquisition was effective as of March 2020
Foley Palenscar Schortmann Insurance Agency, a growing independent insurance agency, has announced the acquisition of Pollicelli & Mullen Insurance Agency. Both independent insurance agencies have office locations in Norwood. Michael Ryan of Insurance Agency Consulting Services represented Pollicelli & Mullen in the transaction.
In commenting on his agency’s latest acquisition, co-owner Steve Palenscar said, “We are excited to continue the tradition of providing exceptional service to Pollicelli & Mullen clients. Assisting clients with any questions or insurance needs is our top priority. It has been a pleasure working with Bill and meeting Pollicelli & Mullen clients in person or over the phone.”
Pollicelli & Mullen was founded in 1989 by Dave Pollicelli and Bill Mullen. Bill Mullen said, “We are so pleased to be working with Foley Palenscar Schortmann. As a family-owned agency located just a few blocks away in Norwood and their history with the same companies we offer, it is a natural fit and the transition has been seamless. Steve and Kit Palenscar have a friendly, experienced and professional team. Our clients are in great hands.”
