We are unique among insurance agencies and brokerages.
We are unique among insurance agencies and brokerages.
What makes Whitaker-Myers DIFFERENT is that we aren’t in the business of simply selling insurance policies. In fact, when people want to buy a policy, we usually aren’t looking to sell one. We prefer clients, not customers – and there is a difference. When we become a trusted advisor, someone you look to for answers and from whom you expect results, then you’ve become a “client.”
Since 1869, We’ve Been a Part of the Community.
In 1869 and 1870, two firms were founded in Wooster, Ohio – the W.G. Whitaker Agency (initially the Fullerton Agency until 1891) and the W.C. Myers Agency. Both began building solid reputations based on the trust of their clients.
The Whitaker Agency and Myers Agency merged in 1970 to form what is still known today as Whitaker-Myers. Whitaker-Myers Insurance Agency Inc. maintains the same guiding principles today, guideposts which have earned the agency the trust of an entire community over generations.
Over the years, Whitaker-Myers Group (“WMG”) has grown to become one of Ohio’s outstanding, respected privately-owned independent insurance agencies. Our clients range from homeowners and small businesses to well-known area, regional and national organizations.
