Company: Westfield

When a disaster happens, we all want to have the ability to rebuild our homes, businesses, farms, and lives. And so we have insurance policies. An insurance policy is something you pay for each month, quarter, or year and then if something bad happens the insurance company helps you pay for it. In 1848 a group of farmers were tired of large insurance companies who didn’t understand their needs and didn’t treat them they way they wanted to be treated. So the started the Farmer’s Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Medina County. A backbone of this business was taking care of the policy holders – or the people who purchased insurance from them. It’s a business where people contact them at scary moments and need help. These two elements have driven the culture at Westfield to be one of taking care of people, making good financial decisions, managing relationships, and growing for over 175 years.
