I have truly enjoyed working with UNICO and their talented staff. The main issue with insurance is that I don’t know what I don’t know and Tom at UNICO is very proactive in making sure Kidwell is covered from every angle. The value with UNICO is far beyond price, I know that Kidwell has a partner that is truly looking out for us and trying to control costs while lowering our exposure to risk. It is easy to look at quotes during renewal time and get hung up on the bottom line but the sign of a true partnership is when your provider goes to bat for you and makes sure that the prices are never an issue. In the insurance world you really are choosing a partner to work with long term instead of hiring the low bidder if you sell by price you will die by price. If you’re current provider only comes around during renewal or you’re the one calling them asking the insurance questions then you may need to reevaluate your partnership. Value is more than the bottom line and Kidwell continues to grow by partnering with other businesses that lead their industries. When is the last time your provider had a suggestion that saved you money or lowered your risk?

UNICO has been wonderful to work with! From the very beginning they have been creative, responsive, knowledgeable, and very professional. They went out of their way to inform our employees both in a group situation and individually. They truly wanted what was best for our Company and for each employee. After the transition to UNICO was complete, they have continued to respond to every concern or question quickly, and with all the information needed. It has been an easy transition and a pleasure working with Rich, Kipp, Gina, and everyone else at UNICO.
