“I am happy to welcome Cowan Insurance Agency, its staff and customers into the growing Duffy Family of Insurance Agencies. The customers of Cowan Insurance Agency will continue to enjoy in-house customer service with a strong emphasis on personal relationships. Cowan customers will enjoy additional product offerings and insurance company options here at Duffy Insurance. I couldn’t be more excited to begin working with Stef and The Cowan Team,” said Marc Duffy, President of Duffy Insurance Agency.

A Message from Stefanie (Cowan) Guillemette:

“On behalf of four generations of the Cowan family that make up Cowan Insurance Agency, Inc. I am thrilled to announce that we will be merging with the Duffy Family of Insurance Agencies. Duffy Insurance 2 will not only continue our legacy of helping our clients and community but will enhance these relationships through broader carrier access and outstanding customer relationships. Our values of putting the customer first and supporting family-based relationships are at the forefront of both Cowan and Duffy’s shared values. We look forward to welcoming our customers, both old and new to the future of Duffy Insurance. I look forward to servicing our accounts along with Jessica who will be joining me at the Duffy group. We will continue to be the same friendly faces and voices our customers are accustomed to working with,” said Stefanie.
