Read more about our company history... Tom Spalding's father delivered bread for Linker's Bread Company in Louisville, KY. He had accumulated 5 weeks vacation, pension, great benefits, and at the age of 57 after working hard for 36 years was nearing retirement and was doing great. One day his father came home as he always did at the end of the day. This time he noticed a tear coming down his Dad's eye. Tom had never seen his father cry before so was really scared. He asked his Dad what was wrong and his father told him the company had gone bankrupt and he was out of a job, lost his benefits, paid vacation, and all the money he had saved for retirement. This would later have a profound effect on him at such a young age. Tom knew at that young age that he would have a career that would never be dependant on someone else, be part of a company that took care of its employees and did wonderful things for his clients. He also learned his hard work ethic and how to pick yourself back up when life knocks you down from his father also. In 1998 Tom Spalding Insurance was started. The agency at that time was only representing Allstate Insurance Company. They quickly became the 1 agency in the state of Kentucky for eight years. They also continually ranked in the top 1% of all agencies in the nation. Although they had achieved a pinnacle of being the best at Allstate they still felt they did not have the best prices and coverage's for every client every time. To much criticism from many disbelievers the agency decided to sell off their interest in Allstate Insurance and start Spalding Insurance Group in 2005. They announced their goal was to represent over 70 Top Insurance Companies and be able to help clients all over the nation. This would truly embody the type of company that Tom vowed to have when his father had lost everything. You see this was a pretty impossible goal to most in the insurance business since independent agencies only represented about 5 Companies and only did business in Kentucky. To many outside the organization this seemed like a crazy idea. It was simply not possible and would never happen. Team Spalding fought each day even harder to help each client and get the Companies that had the best rates for the best coverage available. In keeping with their vision of having a company that would truly be an amazing tool for their clients they kept putting on companies and adding states to serve their clients better. Now Spalding Insurance Group represents well over 70 top insurance companies and does business all over the United States. They have won several Customer Service Awards and are continually ranked as a Top Agency in the Nation year after year. They have kept their promise by realizing they truly are working for the client.
