HISTORY

Ware Insurance was founded by Mr. George H. Ware on March 1, 1961. He ran his agency with a strong commitment to serving every customer well, no matter how big or small. He earned a reputation for honesty and respect over two decades of hard work. Mr. Edwin C. Kellam, Jr. continues to uphold the same values of integrity and personal service that the founder started with. He also provides the best risk management solutions in the industry.

You can trust that Ware Insurance only works with insurance carriers that are ethical and financially sound. We expect the same high standards from our insurers as you do from us.
