About Us

     Located at 45 Main Street (next door to the Active Agency Inc. Realty) the Fred E. Thomas Agency is owned by Jeffrey and Nancy Peters. Founded in 1867 by William Hoag, the business has seen many owners and some name changes, but its dedication to its clients has remained the same, insuring the continuity of this community minded business. Mr. Peters acquired the business in 1977 and through steady growth and strong leadership, the agency has been recognized as one of the leading agencies in the area.

     Our outstanding professionalism, due to the special attention given to the needs and requirements of their clients, has helped them to establish customer based referrals as a major source of their business.

     In addition to providing personal and commercial lines of property and casualty insurance, group and individual life insurance, Fred E. Thomas Agency goes to the extra distance for their clients by reviewing policies, recommending coverage, shopping for competitive premiums and advising and assisting with claims. This extra care for their customers has made them a top performer among their clients.

    In August 1984 the Agency purchased the Applied Systems computer system to implement aggressive marketing programs, as well as automated all accounting, word processing and file maintenance functions. Their goal is to process most transactions without using a paper file and to involve all employees in sales-related activities.

   The Agency's future objectives include providing their customers with service and technical competency in a timely manner, maintaining the highest level of integrity and professionalism, attaining sales goals, controlling expenses and improving the well being of their employees.
