Winters-Oliver took the time to understand our business and saved us significant premium dollars on our workers compensation. We have been so happy with the team at Winters-Oliver, we moved our general liability and umbrella policies to them as well. They are proactive and always respond quickly to our service requests. I appreciate their partnership and highly recommend them!

We began working with Sherwood Bowditch for our commercial insurance and employee benefits when our distillery was in a time of growth and we needed more support and expertise for managing our risk. Sherwood helped us arrange our insurance and risk management in a way that made much more sense for our distillery. His understanding of our industry and proactive support has made him a trusted advisor that we value greatly.

In November 2020, the waste line collapsed between my house and the street. I received bids ranging from $6,000 to $10,000 for the cost of replacement. I did not expect this to be covered by insurance but I called Winters-Oliver just to be sure. They reviewed by policy and found coverage for the cost of excavating the yard to access the broken pipe which saved me $4,000! I was so thankful that Winters-Oliver placed my homeowner’s with a reputable company providing such broad coverage. They truly saved the day (and Christmas) for my family!
