Madison Insurance Group moves closer to Farragut
So, they moved from the 9721 Kingston Pike location in Cedar Bluff to 10205 Kingston Pike, closer to Farragut.
“We were looking for more road frontage, right there on Kingston Pike, and we liked moving closer to Farragut,” said Jeff Hensley, insurance producer at MIG. “Where we’re located at, you can pop right off Pellissippi Parkway.
“So, it was about location, visibility and availability,” he added. Before, he said the agency did not have the road frontage, but now, “our sign can be seen from the road and (we are) more accessible and available.”
MIG, owned by Bill and Bob Arowood, was founded by Bill Arowood Sr. in 1976 in Clinton. Bill Jr. and Bob now are the company’s principals.
Hensley said while there still is an office in Clinton, the corporate office is located in Oak Ridge. Besides the Kingston Pike office, it also has 11 other offices, such as Broadway in North Knoxville, Maynardville, Maryville, Sevierville, Kingsport and others out of state.
“We are a full-line independent retail agency, so we offer all commercial lines of business insurance for businesses,” he said. “We have personal lines insurance for individuals, like home, auto, life. We have a full Medicare division.
“We have specialists in each of the different areas,” Hensley said. “We have a personal lines team and a commercial team, and we work with over 75 different insurance carriers we represent and all the specific appetites and lines of business they specialize in.
“So, we’re always going to represent the customer,” he said. “We represent the client, not the carrier.
“We’re going to put you with the best fit for your needs,” Hensley said. “And because we’ve been in business for so long, built the agency since 1976, the amount of carriers we have versus some other independents is quite diverse.
“That’s one thing that sets us apart: the number of carriers we represent and access to different markets,” he added.
MIG is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. For more information, call 865-321-8055 or visit online at miginsgroup.com
