Vernon Insurance Firms Merge

A big merger in the Vernon business community. Baron Insurance and A.E. Berry Insurance are joining forces under the name Baron Insurance Broker Group. President Barry Amies says the similar services and core philosophies of the two family-run operations made the change a natural fit. "It just made sense for our two businesses to join forces," says Amies. "With the same trusted expert advice we can now offer more locations and a larger team of brokers, plus a higher level of competitive products and services that complement one another." "We see this as a union of two families with long histories in the community," says Dave Hoyte, President of A.E. Berry Insurance which dates back 122 years. "That history isn't disappearing, but is evolving. Customers can still feel confident that the great local service and expertise they have grown to know and trust has just gotten stronger. It's exciting to move forward with a partner that is so like-minded," adds Hoyte. The new group will have four locations in Vernon and Enderby.
