Bolton & Company, one of the nation’s largest employee-owned insurance brokers, was recently distinguished as an Elite Agency by Insurance Business America, a leading publication within the insurance industry.

Bolton was among the 35 top-performing independent agencies in the country that earned the accolade, which represents organizations that are leading in terms of best practices, revenue, employee satisfaction and community service.

Bolton President and CEO Steve Brockmeyer said the recognition reaffirms the organization’s continued commitment to providing the highest quality service and solutions to its clients.

“Being placed among the industry’s top agencies is both humbling and incredibly motivating,” said Brockmeyer. “We’ve grown considerably in recent years, and a big part of that success has relied on keeping our vision and mission at the forefront of our development. Beyond everything else, we are dedicated to our clients, our community and upholding the Bolton & Company legacy.”

Insurance Business America received hundreds of nominations for its Elite Agencies 2015 distinction, and profiled numerous agencies across the nation to find those dedicated to efficiency, innovation and the goodwill of their local communities.

The final rankings were based upon a variety of criteria and not tied strictly to size or financial performance of nominations throughout the country.
