LAPLACA INSURANCE ANNIVERSARY
Congratulations to LaPlaca Insurance, which just celebrated its 35th anniversary! The full-service agency is located in Chalfont, PA, in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia.
Following several decades with The Atlantic Mutual Insurance Company, Dave LaPlaca left his post as SVP of Agency Distribution to start his own agency –LaPlaca Insurance. In 1996 his daughter, Anne LaPlaca, joined the agency after spending 10 years traveling the globe for CIGNA International as Director of International Marketing.
Today the agency has seven employees – four of which are family – and $6 million in premium. The LaPlaca Insurance team prides itself on retention, which is currently 95% across all lines.
Is your agency celebrating a milestone anniversary? Whether it’s five years or 125 years in the business, we want to acknowledge your accomplishment. Email announcements and images to IA&B Public Relations Director Karen Robison at KarenR@IABforME.com.
