We're very excited about our new name, as it speaks more clearly to who we are as a company and how we conduct our day-to-day business."

"In a world of increasing complexity, close client relationships and strategic carrier partnerships are only one part of the insurance experience," said Ed Page, Relation's President and COO. "Clients need brokers to stay ahead of the curve, provide intelligent, tailored solutions backed by extensive experience, and apply technology and data to drive efficiency, innovation, and a competitive edge.
