"We feel honored to be chosen for this prestigious award. Last year CAA grew its property and casualty premiums by 21%, and part of that dynamic growth trend happened because of our expanding relationship with State Auto," says Roger Luttrell, CIC, CAA Secretary and President of Benton-Luttrell-Brown, headquartered in Van Alstyne, Texas. "We think that's huge and this year we hope to do it again," Luttrell enthused. "With partners like State Auto that value integrity and provide tailored products that fit our customers' need, we look forward to cultivating this win-win partnership again in 2012 to make more good things happen."
Luttrell continues to manage his own agency that he bought in the 1980s, and eventually became part of CAA nine years ago.
"State Auto is proud of our partnership with Roger Luttrell and CAA. In just a few short years, CAA has grown into a very important agency group for State Auto," says John Petrucci, State Auto's Vice President of Sales. "We appreciate the leadership Roger has shown both within CAA and as a past member of our National Agency Advisory Council. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with CAA as we move forward into 2012 and beyond."
CAA continued its trend of record growth by writing more than $505.8 million in property and casualty premiums in 2011. CAA, part of State Auto's Western Region, experienced more than 20.5% growth in written insurance premium in 2011, compared to the $419.9 million it wrote in 2010.
