We’ll be your advocate.

Effective insurance agents aren’t just your broker, they’re your advocate.  In order to be the best advocate they can possibly be, your insurance agent must maintain strong carrier relationships. Connor & Gallagher OneSource is proud to maintain some of the strongest carrier-agent relationships in the industry. When your insurance agent has a strong relationship with their carrier, your business benefits through the following processes.

  • Quote Pricing
  • Claims Handling
  • Renewal Pricing

It's not just us who want you to know how strong our relationship is with our carriers, though. Our carriers want you to know, too! That's why they have chosen Connor & Gallagher OneSource to appear in advertisements that are targeted to business owners. Like these ads for ICW and The Hartford, featuring our very own Tom Connor.

We have a great selection of highly rated national and regional carriers.
