Dennis F. Murphy, Jr.,
CEO  CPCU, CLU

It’s hard to believe that 2012 marks our 75th year in business. The changes that have occurred over that time both at our agency and in the insurance industry are mind-boggling. My father, Frank, would certainly be astounded.

One thing that hasn’t changed is that our business is still focused on taking care of people. This is what we strive to do every day by offering sound advice, maximizing value, and providing support when a claim occurs. We aren’t in a faraway place removed from our customers; we are just down the street. And, while more and more business is conducted by phone or online, we still often meet with you face-to-face, so our business remains a personal endeavor.

Whether it’s a quick coverage question, a new situation that might change your needs, or something else, we’re here for you whenever you need us.

A highlight this year was Murphy Insurance being recognized with the Worcester Business Journal Family Business Award. It was truly an honor for our family and our entire team of professionals, who work so diligently each day to make our Agency great.

We are grateful for our longevity and thank all our customers for recognizing our commitment and choosing us. We know that without you we wouldn’t be here.

Thank you!

If you own a condo in Acton, MA, don’t assume the condo association’s master policy fully protects you. That policy typically covers the building’s exterior and shared spaces, but not the inside of your unit. Without your own Condominium Insurance, you could be on the hook for costly repairs to your walls, floors, or fixtures and replace personal belongings damaged by fire, water, or theft. It’s essential protection that helps ensure you’re not left paying out of pocket when the unexpected happens.
