Utica Mutal Insurance Company, the lead company of the Utica National Insurance Group, is proud to have been presented with the 2023 Company Award of Excellence by the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents (PIA). The award was announced and accepted during the annual fall meeting of the PIA National Board of Directors on September 20, 2023, in Naples, Florida.

Each year, the prestigious Company Award of Excellence honors one insurance company for demonstrating their commitment to the American Agency System and for encouraging professional, independent insurance agents by creating a better business environment.

"Working closely with the PIA and helping agents to protect what they've worked so hard to build and make successful are important parts of what our E&O team and company do," said Richard Creedon, Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Utica National companies. "We appreciate our relationship with the PIA and are grateful for this tremendous honor, which we accept on behalf of all of our team members who help to keep our company running and successful."

"Utica Mutual writes E&O for independent insurance agencies through many PIA affiliates," said PIA Northeast President & CEO Jeff Parmenter. "We believe their longevity and consistency in this space as well as their value proposition align very well with PIA. This gives us the confidence that we have a true partner that we can rely on."
