OUR HISTORY
Brad VanVleet received the Governor’s Award for Tomorrow’s Leaders. This award is presented by the Governor annually to young adults to strive for and attain excellence as entrepreneurial leaders, volunteers, and scholars.
After 32 years in our stately, federal style, 130-year old building, VanVleet Insurance moved to a new location at 1 Glen Miller Parkway. The new building offers wonderful features such as one floor, premium pay drive thru window, beautiful skylights, an abundance of parking, and two ways in and out (East Main Street and Southeast Parkway).
The award is named in honor of late Erie Insurance Chairman and Chief Executive Officer F. William Hirt. VanVleet Insurance has won the Quality Agent Award three times since 1981.
VanVleet Insurance announced the promotion of Kyle Zajdel to Vice President of Life and Health Sales. Kyle joined the company in 2007 and has progressively advanced in the Health and Life Department at VanVleet Insurance.
VanVleet Insurance also accepted Erie Insurance’s Life Recognition Award. VanVleet has won the award consecutively since 2011.
VanVleet Insurance has enjoyed an upward trajectory ever since our move to East Main Street in 2013. It became clear that we were out of office space! In 2019, we added 2,200 sq ft of additional office space along with a nice general meeting area. The new addition houses our life, health, and Medicare supplement employees allowing for a division of labor from the home, auto, and business insurance agents. The ability to have employees specialize in their particular wheelhouse of expertise allows us to bring more value to our customer relationships.
VanVleet Insurance was proud to be recognized at the Wayne County Area Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Dinner as the Achievement of Excellence, Small Business Award Recipient.
[ 2021 ]
VanVleet Insurance is proud to be celebrating our 40 year business anniversary! Our relationship with Erie Insurance, our hard-working team, and our loyal clients have fueled the growth of the agency through the last 4 decades. President Brad VanVleet stated, “I am honored to be the second generation to continue building and growing the family business alongside my father and wife!”
