Hotchkiss Sees Growth in Restaurant Program

Hotchkiss Insurance Agency LLC (HIA), endorsed service provider for the Texas Restaurant Association (TRA), Austin, Texas, announced a $1.2 million growth in their restaurant insurance program during the last 11 months.

HIA received the endorsement of the TRA for their restaurant insurance program in January of 2008. HIA, through its strategic alliances with selected A rated carriers, provides property and casualty, health insurance and employee benefits for TRA members and associate members.

"The success of HIA’s insurance program for our members proves what a critical component insurance is for a successful business operation,” stated TRA Vice President of Member Services, Rick Madden. "Our members know they can turn to their association for real value when the economy dictates that every dollar spent must be examined. Having an industry specific specialist dedicated to providing the right coverage at the best price makes all the difference. As I’ve stated before, most of our members are hands-on entrepreneurs and they don’t have time to chase after insurance. This valuable member service assists our members in offering employee benefits as well and that improves their ability to attract and retain talent.”
