The staff and service at Snyder will not change, Snyder said in a note to clients. Snyder has 16 employees, who will join R&R’s 160 employees.The Snyder division will continue working out of its Oconomowoc office. R&R also has branches in Waukesha, West Bend, Menomonee Falls and Beaver Dam.
“Snyder Insurance is grateful for the relationship we have built together over the last 54 years and the trust you have placed in our care,” Snyder said. “We are pleased to be able to carefully place that relationship into the care of another family – the Riesch Family, of R&R Insurance Services. R&R is a family business with similar values, passion and vision as we have had over the years.”
Since the insurance companies represent most of the same insurance companies, there will be no impact on clients’ existing policies, coverages or premium costs.
