Involvement Prove Key to Partnership
FORT
WORTH, Texas, May 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Higginbotham, the
largest independent insurance, financial and HR services firm
headquartered in Texas and one of
the top firms in the country, has united with Ross Insurance Agency
of Waco, Texas, a family-operated
agency specializing in personal and commercial insurance.
Shared Values, Added Resources, Community
Involvement Prove Key to Higginbotham and Ross Insurance Agency
Partnership
After celebrating the firm's 75th anniversary in
2023, Higginbotham Chairman and CEO Rusty
Reid credits a platform of strategic growth for the
company's continued success. Under Reid's leadership, Higginbotham has built relationships with
agencies across the country that share the firm's commitment to
people-first service, team support and community involvement. The
firm first entered Waco in 2009
through such a relationship.
"This partnership with Ross Insurance Agency is a testament to
our shared dedication to exceptional service and our collective
commitment to the communities we serve," Reid said. "The Ross
family has built an agency that not only offers a range of
insurance solutions but does so with a level of care and service
that fits perfectly with Higginbotham's values."
Ross Insurance Agency was founded in 2003 by Tommy Ross and his wife, Brandi, and has grown
from what they call a "mom and pop shop" to a thriving agency
specializing in auto, home, life and commercial insurance. With a
diverse client base, the Ross Insurance team has built a reputation
for helping people and businesses protect their assets with quality
service and personalized care.
"From the very beginning, Brandi and I aimed to create an agency
that could offer quality service that makes a real difference in
our clients' lives," said Tommy
Ross. "We feel a tremendous sense of responsibility to our
clients. We work hard to help them protect what they have worked so
hard to achieve, and Higginbotham
has that same mindset of serving and growing."
Along with their similar approach to doing business,
Tommy Ross was drawn to Higginbotham's organizational values and
long-standing commitment to community involvement. Since its
founding, Ross Insurance has proven itself to be a pillar in the
Waco community, offering support
to many charitable organizations and initiatives across
Central Texas.
"The more we learned about Higginbotham, the more we saw a reflection of
our own values and goals," Brandi
Ross said. "Their support for community initiatives and
commitment to service convinced us that joining Higginbotham was the right move for our
future. We're able to gain additional resources while keeping our
community roots and personal touch."
Joining Higginbotham will
provide Ross Insurance Agency with the ability to offer more
comprehensive solutions to their clients, including employee
benefits, HR services, financial services and Higginbotham's Day Two Services®, which
include value-added services like risk management, benefits
administration, certificate management and more support throughout
the policy term.
"Partnering with Higginbotham
opens up new horizons for our team and our clients," said
Tommy Ross. "It enables us to offer
a more diverse set of products and services, backed by the
extensive resources and expertise of Higginbotham. We're excited about the
opportunities this partnership brings to better serve our clients
and continue growing."
