Local Agent Designated Special Blue Streak Representative

Kathy Bett of Lawley Insurance in Buffalo has recently been appointed a special Blue Streak representative for the Central Insurance Companies.  Blue Streak is a unique personal lines service, recognition and relationship program provided to select agencies representing Central which maintain consistently high professional standards and a proven track record for producing high-quality personal lines for Central.

The purpose of the program is simple: to provide prompt, accurate Personal Lines service - the best in the industry - to policyholders through a mutual commitment to the program between Central and its Blue Streak agents.  Because of this close partnership, Blue Streak agents are given priority attention on all business submitted to Central.

Less than 15% of Central’s agents are Blue Streak yet they produce over 1/3 of Central’s personal lines business and account for nearly 40% of the company's written premium.   Lawley Insurance is one of just 72 insurance agencies nationwide that are designated Blue Streak.      

Ms. Bett recently completed a three-day training program at the home office of the Central Insurance Companies in Van Wert, Ohio, where she was designated the Blue Streak agency underwriter and coordinator of the program.
