PA Chamber Insurance Finalizes Purchase of First Book of Business

PA Chamber Insurance, the for-profit insurance subsidiary of the PA Chamber of Business and Industry, recently finalized its first purchase of a book of business from Gar Thomas, owner of Washko and Thomas Agency, LLC. Thomas is a trusted insurance broker who had previously partnered with the company and has since stayed on with PCI as an independent contractor.

“We are excited to work with Gar Thomas on this purchase – a first for our organization, but certainly not our last,” PCI Chief Operating Officer Gil Davis said. “As a small to mid-sized employee benefits broker, Gar’s book of business was perfectly fitting for PCI’s business model since we work with so many similar companies who are aiming to find affordable, quality benefits plans for their employees. We can’t wait to provide the excellent customer service we’re well known for to this new group of clients, and we look forward to what the future holds.” 

“Having built many trusted relationships with my clients over the years, I knew that Pennsylvania Chamber Insurance would continue to provide the high standard of service they are accustomed to,” Gar Thomas said. “PCI was the natural fit to acquire my book of business. I’m excited about what the future holds as we continue working together to open new doors and help more clients find the benefits options that suit their business’s needs.”
