(PRESS RELEASE) NEENAH, WI – Jewelers Mutual Insurance Co. has been named to the 2018 list of Ward’s 50 top performing insurance companies, marking the eighth consecutive year for this recognition. The award recognizes outstanding financial results in the areas of safety, consistency and performance over a five-year period from 2013-17.

“We are intensely focused on our customers and providing solutions to their business challenges,” said Scott Murphy, Jewelers Mutual president and CEO. “Being named to Ward’s 50 again is a testament that our employees and partners continue to do so.”

The list of Ward’s 50 top performing insurance companies was released on July 17 by Ward Group, an Aon Hewitt company and the leading provider of operational and compensation benchmarking and best practices services for insurance companies.

To develop its annual list of the top 50 performing insurance companies, Ward Group analyzes the financial performance of nearly 3,000 property-casualty insurance companies and 800 life-health insurance companies domiciled in the United States and identifies the top performers in each segment based on objective data and subjective quality measures. Each company has passed all safety and consistency screens and achieved superior performance over the five years analyzed.

“We continue to look for new ways to evolve and strengthen our business so that we can be here for our customers when they need us the most,” added Murphy.

Time to Do What You've Always Wanted? Time to Call Wilkerson.

It was time. Teri Allen and her brother, Nick Pavlich, Jr., had been at the helm of Dearborn Jewelers of Plymouth in Plymouth, Mich., for decades. Their father, Nick Pavlich, Sr., had founded the store in 1950, but after so many wonderful years helping families around Michigan celebrate their most important moments, it was time to get some “moments” of their own. Teri says Wilkerson was the logical choice to run their retirement sale. “They’re the only company that specializes in closing jewelry stores,” she says. During the sale, Teri says a highlight was seeing so many generations of customers who wanted to buy “that one last piece of jewelry from us.” Would she recommend Wilkerson? Absolutely. “There is no way that I would have been able to do this by myself.”
