Steve Standridge Insurance team awarded Inner Circle distinction August 27, 2008 - No reporter cited

Steve Standridge Insurance, Inc. of Mt. Ida, has been named to State Auto Insurance Companies’ Inner Circle, the highest award presented by the regional insurer.  The achievement honors successful agencies that demonstrate outstanding sales, service, and business management. 

The agency received a special engraved gold plate to commemorate the achievement with State Auto. Only 129 agencies in the country earned this distinction in 2007.

“Our Inner Circle agencies epitomize the absolute best in their profession and in their communities,” said State Auto President and Chief Executive Officer Robert P. Restrepo. “Agencies like Steve Standridge Insurance, Inc. earn the right to belong to the Inner Circle because of their sales success, professionalism and commitment to their customers.  We’re proud to be represented by such a fine agency in Arkansas.”

An independent insurance agency, Steve Standridge Insurance, Inc. represents several companies and provides multiple lines of insurance to its customers.

The agency has represented State Auto since 1989.

“We give all of our credit for our success to all of our employees. All are service minded and do whatever it takes, to meet the customers needs immediately,” said owner, Steve Standridge.

The Standridge family began the company in 1982 and opened their second branch in 1988. 25 years later, the company now employs a team of professionals on all corners of the state with its home office in Mount Ida.

According to Standridge, the point he is most proud of is that the Standridge company is a very family oriented business, among both his own family but also several members of other families. Retention is very high with anniversaries dating back into the 1980s with a number of employees.

The Standridge Company is also the only agency in Arkansas with a full time Claims department with five full time, trained agents throughout the state. There are also seven bond centers throughout the state, working with almost any time of bond available.

Steve Standridge Insurance has a long tradition of community service and professional service and commitment in Montgomery County and increasingly throughout the state.
