EBIA STORY

The East Bridgewater Insurance Agency was founded in January of 1989 by Margaret K. Spagone. With the retirement of Peter P. Spagone Sr., from Cricket Lane Casuals in 1991 and the re-establishment of Peter P. Spagone Jr. in 1992 to the state of Massachusetts, both joining the agency made EBIA a family owned business. East Bridgewater Insurance Agency has grown under the experience and excellence of the Spagone family and the EBIA team. EBIA was built through hard work and has successfully grown from a one-employee agency to a ten-employee agency with a customer base throughout the South Shore area.

Aside from being exceedingly business-minded, the Spagone family have been equally civic-minded. Peg served on the East Bridgewater Zoning Board of Appeals, and is currently a Director of the South Shore Bank. Peter Sr. has served as a Selectman, Moderator, and Veteran’s Agent for the Town of East Bridgewater. Peter Jr. has served his civic duties through the East Bridgewater Board of Health as Chairman for over sixteen years and has directed the Skylur J. Spagone Memorial Fund for over twenty years. It is this model of outstanding service to the community and the underpinning of exceptional business practices that make East Bridgewater Insurance such a special agency with which to do business.

The Spagones have three daughters:

  • Michelle Lessard, owner of Michelle’s Studio of Dance.
  • Gina Williams, Assistant Superintendent of East Bridgewater Schools.
  • Jill Rodgers, Divisional Vice President with the T.J.X. Corporation

In 1999, Becky Biggins was hired as the agency office manager. In 2019, Becky will be celebrating twenty years of service to the agency.

In 2019, East Bridgewater Insurance Agency staff includes Jenna Smith (10 years of service), John McLaughlin (5 years of service), Ken Fienberg (5 years of service), Paige Donahue (4 years of service), Jenn Farrell (2 years of service), and Sue Purdy (1 year of service).

The team approach to solving problems for our clients is a major factor in what sets EBIA apart from others. Our experience as risk managers in both the public-private sectors helps to ensure that our clients receive the top-notch service they need and deserve. In addition, EBIA’s professional and experienced claims staff assists in reporting, analyzing, and servicing our clients’ claims. Our claims department lives by the motto “we are always here to help.”

“We think of individuals by name and not as an account number,” states Peg Spagone. It is that mindset coupled with a long-standing presence in the community and thirty years in the insurance industry that makes us proud to say that East Bridgewater Insurance Agency is: Home for all your insurance needs.

Thank you for being part of our journey- Wishing you all the best in 2019.
