FieldEddy and Lawson, Marino and Bertera merge

Date: 12/28/2009

SPRINGFIELD The FieldEddy Insurance Network and the Lawson, Marino and Bertera Insurance Agency merged their agencies earlier this year to create one of the largest insurance agency networks in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Both companies have extensive experience in employee benefits and combine for well over $100 million in sales in that area alone.

"This partnership gives us an incredible advantage in the employee benefits market," Samuel R. Hanmer, President of the FieldEddy Insurance Network, said. "Together, we can provide more products, increase services, and have a level of expertise that cannot be matched."

"It's a real plus for our customers," Kevin W. Lawson, principal at the Lawson, Marino and Bertera Insurance Agency, noted. "Our entire team is staying on board, and we will now be supported by the four regional offices of the FieldEddy Insurance Network."

The Lawson, Marino and Bertera Insurance Agency will continue to be located at One Monarch Place in downtown Springfield. Lawson and Marino will be staying on in their current roles along with Employee Benefits Broker Laurie Starzyk and Senior Account Executives Elizabeth Gish and Lori Newsome.
