Bunker Hill Insurance Receives Approval for Conn. Homeowners Rates

Bunker Hill Insurance Company, a new entrant to the Connecticut homeowners insurance market, announced that it is “open for business,” following the receipt of approval for its homeowners rates from the Connecticut Insurance Department.

The company noted that “This marks the first time the Boston-based member of the Plymouth Rock companies has issued homeowners policies outside Massachusetts.”

“We’re providing new capacity in a line of business that many other companies are walking away from,” stated Bunker Hill president John P. Tierney.

“The company offers topnotch claims service and a 10% discount on homeowner insurance rates when customers also insure their car with Plymouth Rock Assurance Corporation, which began selling auto insurance in the state in March 2002,” said the bulletin. “Bunker Hill offers insurance for homes, condominiums and apartments.”

The company also indicated that it is actively searching for agents who may be interested in representing it in Connecticut. More information about the company is available online at www.bunkerhillins.com.
