In an effort to better serve its growing customer base, Wells Fargo Insurance Services USA, Inc. -- part of Wells Fargo & Company -- has announced a new structure for its San Francisco/Bay Area operations. Leveraging its size and significant presence in the San Francisco and Northern California markets, Wells Fargo Insurance Services (WFIS) combined the San Francisco South Bay and North Bay regions, providing customers with improved service and access to insurance and financial resources. The South Bay region includes San Carlos, San Mateo and Palo Alto and the North Bay region includes San Francisco, Marin County and Petaluma.
The combined structure will provide customers with a fully-integrated financial and insurance services platform. WFIS will also be better positioned to work with other Wells Fargo business units in the Bay Area, providing improved service and resource delivery to customers locally and in the outlying cities and communities.
"This expansion strengthens Wells Fargo's commitment to our Bay Area customers and communities by aligning our resources and talent to better serve their needs," said H. David Wood, executive vice president of Wells Fargo Insurance Services, West Area. "Customers will have more opportunities to work with other Wells Fargo businesses to find solutions for the financial and risk management issues they face every day."
Brian Hetherington, regional managing director for the new San Francisco Bay Region, will lead the combined operation. He will manage efforts to enhance service offerings through closer alignment with other Wells Fargo businesses.
"As the largest bank-owned brokerage in the U.S., Wells Fargo Insurance Services has an unparalleled level of financial stability, reputation, and depth of resources," said Hetherington. "Leveraging our commercial and consumer cross-sell potential, we have the opportunity to provide financial services to customers across the spectrum, from consumer to corporate banking customers."
Now, as one of the leading insurance brokerage firms in the San Francisco Bay Area, the expanded structure will also help attract and recruit top talent in the insurance market, providing customers with best in class service and access to insurance resources and solutions.
