Our Roots Run Deep. So Do Our Values.
Burt Holmes founded The Holmes Organisation with partner Kent Bogart in 1963. And the customer-focused values he set in motion then still guide the
company today. With decades of industry leadership under our belt, and third-generation insurance agents at the helm, it would be easy to rest on our
laurels. But these corporate values, posted in every employee’s workspace from the CEO to the receptionist, keep us on track:
We value PEOPLE: At the end of the day, our business is to keep people safe. But we value more than their safety, we value
their ideas, their work … we value them. And the best way we show it is by treating people how we want to be treated — in every area of our business.
We value PASSION: Every Holmes employee has it — an unrelenting desire to continually learn more, do more and deliver more.
We’re driven to go the extra mile. To out-perform our competitors and exceed your expectations every day.
We value INNOVATION: We’re not cookie-cutter solutions kind of people. We’re problem-solvers. We seek out new ways
to meet your needs. And we know that sometimes, insurance isn’t the answer.
We value KNOWLEDGE: Our understanding runs deep. Certainly of our industry, but also of yours. We make it a priority to
learn your business inside and out, so our recommendations are specific to you.
We value PROFITABILITY: As Burt Holmes always said: “if we do what is right for the client, profit will take care of itself.”
We think he was right. For our profit and yours.
