Connell Insurance Inc. named three of its employees as partners.
The May 1 promotion of Casey Chastain, Jay Hickman and Tom Jensen more than doubles the partner count at Connell Insurance, which is led by Tim Connell and Randall Gammill, said Dave Koch, a spokesman for the company.
“Casey, Jay and Tom epitomize the diverse talent Connell brings to client service regionwide,” Managing Partner Connell said in a news release sent this week to Springfield Business Journal. “All three are deeply dedicated to providing exemplary service to their clients and will aid in servicing existing clients with whom I will transition to their charge.
“With this transition and a renewed focus on managing and leading the organization versus producing, I welcome them to the firm’s partnership.”
Chastain consults on workers’ compensation, Affordable Care Act compliance and human resources; Hickman focuses on restaurant owners, waste haulers, commercial property owners and fleet automotive clients; and Jensen leads the company’s employer benefits practice, according to the release.
Connell Insurance ranked No. 3 last year on SBJ’s list of the area’s largest independent insurance agencies. The company reported 43 agents, the ranking criteria for the list, but did not disclose revenue.
Interpres Building Solutions LLC gave former Springfield Fire Station No. 6 new life; Crave Cookie Dough added a south-side store; and Kansas-based Artistic Works by Lu LLC opened a brick-and-mortar shop.
