John Kennedy, president of JSA, said, “It is very rare for JSA to venture outside the realm of crime prevention. However, JSA has felt the tremendous challenges faced by JSA’s 21,500 member businesses in securing quality and affordable health insurance, which can be one of a member’s largest business expenses. JSA believes that this program with MJM is the right solution for improving healthcare coverage options for its members, their families and employees.”

The program enables an 8-12% average healthcare coverage savings, and offers national coverage with every major carrier. In addition to cost savings, the program offers helpful assistance through a Health Advocate benefit, and on-demand, rapid healthcare advice through a Telehealth benefit.

Richard Reiman, VP employee benefits at MJM Global Insurance, said, “This partnership between JSA and MJM Global offers a solution to jewelry companies looking for access to competitive insurance rates.”

Wilkerson Testimonials

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
