A new chapter built on trusted relationships, personal service and a shared commitment to clients

V.F. McNeil Insurance is pleased to welcome the clients of Griffin Insurance, LLC to our agency.

This transition represents a new chapter for Griffin Insurance and its clients while preserving the personal relationships and service that have been central to the agency for many years. We are honored to have the opportunity to continue serving these clients and to build upon the strong foundation established by Griffin Insurance founder, Eileen Griffin.

A Thoughtful Transition

After careful consideration, Eileen determined that the timing was right to transition her agency as she looks toward the next chapter of her life. Finding the right home for her clients was her most important consideration.

V.F. McNeil Insurance provides an opportunity to build upon the strong foundation she has established while giving Griffin Insurance clients access to the broader resources, insurance carrier options and depth of service available through a larger independent agency.

“This was an important decision for me, and finding the right home for my clients was the most important consideration. I have tremendous confidence in V.F. McNeil Insurance and know that my clients will benefit from the resources, carrier options and depth of service they can provide while continuing to receive the personal attention they deserve.”

Eileen will remain with V.F. McNeil Insurance during the transition, helping ensure a smooth experience and continuity for Griffin Insurance clients.

A Shared Approach to Insurance

We believe this transition is a natural fit for both agencies.

Like Griffin Insurance, V.F. McNeil Insurance believes that being an independent agency means having the freedom to put clients first, provide objective guidance and access a broad range of insurance solutions.

“We are honored to welcome Griffin Insurance clients and to have the opportunity to build upon the relationships and reputation that Eileen has established,” said Daniel McNamara, CIC, President of V.F. McNeil Insurance. “This transition is a natural fit for both agencies. Like Griffin Insurance, we believe that being independent means having the freedom to put clients first, provide objective advice, and access a broad range of insurance solutions.”

For Griffin Insurance clients, that means the relationship they have built with Eileen can continue while gaining access to the additional resources and capabilities of V.F. McNeil Insurance.

Continuing a Long Tradition of Independent Service

Founded in 1886, V.F. McNeil Insurance has remained independently owned and operated throughout its history. For more than 140 years, we have served individuals, families and businesses throughout Connecticut with personal and commercial insurance solutions.

Our independence gives us the ability to represent a broad selection of insurance carriers and provide guidance based on what is appropriate for each client’s individual needs.

“We are proud of our history, but we are equally focused on the future,” McNamara added. “Our goal is to preserve what has always mattered most—personal service, trusted relationships and advocacy for our clients—while continuing to invest in the people, technology and resources needed to serve them well for generations to come.”

Looking Ahead

We are excited about what this next chapter means for both agencies and, most importantly, for the clients we now have the privilege of serving.

To the clients joining us from Griffin Insurance: welcome to V.F. McNeil Insurance. We look forward to getting to know you, supporting your insurance needs and earning your trust for years to come.
