After working in the industry for 7 years, Tucker made the decision to start his own independent insurance agency. With the help of a couple colleagues, Hanlon & Associates was open for business in January 2014. Thanks to our client support, we have grown to employ 7 dedicated staff members. Our office is still in its original location (Buckeye Building, Canal Park, Duluth), although we did move to a larger office space on the 4th floor in January of 2020.
Our company slogan is “Real Coverage. Real Service. Real People”. When it comes to insurance, there is no “one size fits all” approach. We consider multiple factors when finding the right coverage for each situation. The best way we can help our clients is make sure we’re covering their personal or business assets in the most appropriate way. This means taking into account their specific situation, what carrier is the best fit or provides the best coverage options for what they need, and of course, keeping price in mind. Our goal is to simplify our clients’ in the complicated world of insurance and provide them with an outstanding customer service experience.
