Keystone adds Árachas Group in Illinois

NORTHUMBERLAND, Pa. (May 11, 2017) –The Árachas Group of Bartlett, Illinois, has joined Keystone Insurers Group. The agency becomes Keystone’s 18th partner in the state.

“Our number one is our clients, and joining forces with Keystone gives us access to unlimited resources to better serve our customers,” said William Sullivan, co-manager and principal at Árachas Group. “Now, connected within a network of hundreds of other agencies, we can provide our clients with an even higher level of service and economy. Keystone membership was an easy decision.”

“Over the past few months, I’ve gotten to know Bill Sullivan and Kevin Lesch and feel very confident about bringing this new partner to the Keystone community,” Keystone’s Illinois Vice President Neal Williams said. “They truly exemplify the values we seek in our partner agencies.”

About Árachas Group LLC – Two successful Bartlett, Illinois, insurance agencies -- Sullivan & Associates and Bartlett Insurance Group -- will be merging to create Árachas Group. Both agencies began as small, but dedicated, family businesses in the 1970s. When William Sullivan took the reins of Sullivan & Associates, he realized the growth opportunities available in niche marketing, while Bartlett Insurance Group, driven by Kevin Lesch, grew steadily by focusing on small commercial, middle market business and a solid personal lines book of business. The merger of these two entities is creating an agency that will provide clients with a well-rounded, full-service insurance and risk management team.

About Keystone Insurers Group (Keystone) – Keystone started in 1983 when four independent insurance agencies teamed up to pool their experience and expertise. Determined and scrappy in the face of a difficult market, this small group believed that agencies could be stronger and more successful if they linked arms – a passion and spirit that continues. Growing to almost 300 independent agency partners in 11 states, Keystone provides its agents with a community of like-minded agencies, industry expertise and access to specialized products for their clients. Keystone is ranked number two on Insurance Journal's 2016 list of Top 20 Privately-Held Property/Casualty Agency Partnerships. For more information, go to www.keystoneinsgrp.com.
