Keystone Insurers Group (Keystone) continued its expansion in the Great Lakes Region by signing on new Michigan agency, Conner Insurance Group of Walled Lake.
“Conner Insurance Group exemplifies Keystone’s core values. It is critical as we grow our footprint that we bring aboard like-minded agencies who believe in and support the independent agency system,” noted Aaron Vorce, Michigan state vice president. “Conner Insurance Group aligns perfectly with Keystone from that perspective. This agency is well respected in the Michigan insurance industry and couldn’t be a better fit for our strong lineup of Keystone agencies in the state. We look forward to a strong, mutually beneficial relationship.”
“In our efforts to write a new chapter, our agency got together to figure out what the next move would be. One could easily sell and just ride off into the sunset, but our mission and goal was to perpetuate to family from the beginning,” said agency CEO Jerry Conner. “Our question was how to advance the agency’s growth and compete with some of the larger agencies. After meeting with Aaron Vorce, we were convinced that with the support current Michigan agencies and Keystone bring to the table, it’s a win-win for both sides. So begins our new chapter!”
