Bernard Williams & Company, an independently owned company serving the insurance and risk management needs of over 4,500 customers throughout Georgia and the Southeast, has earned Elite status from Liberty Mutual and Safeco. Each year, just 10 percent of Liberty Mutual and Safeco-appointed agents earn Elite Agency Status. 

According to Luke Bills, President, Independent Agent Distribution, as part of this distinguished group of top-performing agencies, Bernard Williams & Company represents the very best-those agencies that have continued to grow and evolve in the face of changing market conditions, while maintaining an exceptional customer and employee experience. “We applaud you for your efforts to achieve this distinction and recognize the partnership and dedication it has taken to get here," he said.

"It is an honor to be awarded Elite Agency Status by Safeco Home and Auto Insurance. Consumers are facing evolutionary changes to coastal homeowners insurance as well as changes in auto insurance," Robert Daniels, COO of Bernard Williams & Company, said upon receiving the Elite Agency Status news. "Our team is dedicated to providing a high level of customer service during these challenging times. As the largest 100% locally owned insurance agency in Savannah, remaining independent with local control, allows us the freedom to invest in hiring and training new staff. These actions might not be seen as necessary by ownership outside of the community. We do not outsource to other countries or use insurance carrier’s service centers; all service is local. Having all service local allows us to maintain the customer service standards Safeco’s is recognizing."

Established in 1934 by Bernard F. Williams, the agency is independently owned and serves the insurance and risk management needs of over 4,500 customers throughout Georgia and the Southeast. Headquartered in Savannah, Bernard Williams & Company offers clients a winning combination of quality, service and value from a carefully selected group of financially sound, reputable insurance companies.
