Inszone | October 20, 2022
Inszone Insurance Services: a rapidly growing, national provider of benefits, personal and commercial lines insurance, announced today the acquisition of Proctor Insurance, providing the fifth acquisition in the state of Texas.
Founded by Jeff Proctor in 1988, Proctor Insurance has been a pillar in the Houston area. Jeff started in his community founding two grocery stores in the Houston area, but when those were sold to a local chain, he begun looking for a change of pace which would allow him to provide for his wife and three small children and lead him away from the 7-day work week. After consulting with a friend in the insurance industry, Jeff decided to open his agency and built it from the ground up. He built a reputation of success among small hotels and motels, who appreciated the honesty and dedication of him and his team. Getting ready to retire, Jeff knew he wanted to find a company to provide opportunity for advancement and further education to his employees while also providing great resources to his clients.
Proctor Insurance customers will continue to receive the service they are accustomed to, under the Inszone Insurance brand.
“Jeff of Proctor Insurance told us his team was his true success story, and he was 100% right, we couldn’t be happier to provide them with the resources to continue their great work under the Inszone brand, We are excited to see our service footprint grow in the state of Texas and look forward to many years of success with the team from Proctor Insurance.”
-Norm Hudson, CEO of Inszone Insurance Services
