MONTEREY, Calif., March 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Jones & Maulding Insurance Agency, based in Oxnard, CA, was named Capital Insurance Group® (CIG) Ventura Agency of the Year for 2012. CIG, the leading regional property and casualty insurer serving the Western U.S., selected the company for the annual award based upon its performance, relationship commitment, and largest overall sales growth.

The company was founded in 1952 by Robert Matthews but purchased by Southern California native Tim Jones in 1972. Dave Maulding later joined as a partner in 1978, growing the team from three to sixteen employees; four of which have been with the company for more than 20 years. The agency represents many quality insurance companies, both regionally and nationally, and has represented CIG since 1983. Tim and Dave have also played a major role in the CIG Agency Council with Tim serving multiple terms as head of the Council.

"We are proud to accept this award and attribute the success of our agency to the family style atmosphere and tenure of our employees," commented Tim Jones, President and Owner of Jones & Maulding. "We have a great relationship with CIG, from the local staff to the CEO."

Each year, CIG recognizes nine agencies with the CIG Agency of the Year award. The criteria for the award are business performance, customer service, and agency relationships. CIG Regional Managers, Business Relationship Managers, and Account Executives select three top performing agencies for consideration. A committee of CIG executives evaluates and selects an honoree from these top candidates for each of the nine regions.

We are pleased to honor Jones & Maulding and congratulate them on their long standing dedication to excellence," said Peter Cazzolla, President and CEO of Capital Insurance Group. "We look forward to another 30 years of success."
