After four decades of dedicated service, Stephen Benjamin Insurance Agency proudly announces the retirement of its principal, Steve LeClaire, and the continuation of the family-owned business into its fourth generation.

Since its inception in 1939, Stephen Benjamin Insurance Agency has been synonymous with professionalism, integrity, and personalized service, largely due to the vision and guidance of Steve LeClaire. His steadfast commitment to serving the community and ensuring the best possible insurance solutions for clients has left an indelible mark on Sutton and beyond.

“It has been an incredible journey serving our clients and being a part of this wonderful community,” said Steve LeClaire. “I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished together and appreciate every one of our loyal clients. I’m particularly pleased that our level of service and commitment will now continue with my daughter at the helm.”

As Steve LeClaire transitions into retirement, the Agency is pleased to announce that the legacy of family stewardship will continue into a fourth generation. Lauren LeClaire, Steve’s daughter, will assume the role of President, ensuring a seamless transition and upholding the Agency’s long-standing commitment to excellence.

“I am deeply honored and excited to carry forward the legacy established by my father and the generations before him,” expressed Lauren LeClaire. “Stephen Benjamin Insurance Agency has been a part of our family for four generations, and I am committed to maintaining the same level of dedication and personalized service that our clients have come to expect.”

As the Agency looks towards the future, it remains steadfast in its commitment to serving the insurance needs of individuals, families, and businesses throughout Sutton, the Blackstone Valley and beyond.

Lauren is a graduate of Sutton High School and Northeastern University, where she majored in communication studies. In addition to her role at the Agency, she serves on the Millbury Federal Credit Union Commercial Services board of directors.

She resides in Sutton and in her spare time enjoys professional bicycle racing and horseback riding.

The retirement of Steve LeClaire marks the end of an era, but also heralds the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Stephen Benjamin Insurance Agency under the capable leadership of Lauren LeClaire. With a legacy built on family values, the Agency is poised to continue its tradition of service and innovation for generations to come.
