DUNEDIN, Fla.–Achieva Credit Union said it has acquired Cannella Insurance Services and will continue to operate under the same management and team but under the new name, Achieva Insurance Agency.
The firm specializes in auto, car, home, boat, business, commercial, and flood insurance, including insurance for religious organizations, churches, museums, private schools, and builders risk, according to Achieva.
“Achieva Insurance Agency shares the values of personalized customer care, integrity, and expertise that Cannella Insurance provided for over two decades,” said John Wintermeier, Achieva Insurance Agency board chairman. “Combined with our ability to handle higher volumes of clients and proven efficiencies throughout our 25 branches across Southwest Florida, we look forward to offering an even broader range of insurance options to meet the specific needs of our clients in these challenging times with insurance coverage in Florida.”
Founded Two Decades Ago
Cannella Insurance Services was founded in 2003 by Joseph H. Cannella, a third-generation native of Tampa, as a result of a split from Allines Insurance Brokerage, Inc, which he co-founded in 1993.
Today the firm has just under 900 insurance clients, primarily in the Tampa Bay region but also with clients in Lee, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties.
“This acquisition brings only positive outcomes for each of our valued clients,” said Cannella in a statement. “By leveraging Achieva’s resources, we will be able to expand our product offering by attracting several additional new insurance carriers and contracting with these additional quality insurers to create an expanded product offering that will only be a win for our customers.”
Cannella will now serve as director of Achieva Insurance Agency.
