About Us Report

Frederick Taylor was, by all accounts, a sensible man. A resident of Granby, MA, Mr. Taylor manufactured cloth at his mill on Batchelor Brook during a dark period in American history-the Civil War. Fearing for the safety of his property, he established an insurance business to protect his holdings.

We are very fortunate to have Michele as our rep at Bell and Hudson. She's always on top of things and I never worry about having the right coverage.

Michele B. is our insurance girl! We were referred to her from a family member and we have followed her ever since. She was able to cut our car insurance in half and continues to stay on top of the best rates! We will never go anywhere else!

I can not express enough how much of a pleasure it was to have worked with this insurance group. From the initial paperwork to the rear ending I dealt with to the closing of the policy, they were always kind and patient with me. They regularly checked in with me while I was dealing with a claim to make sure I was feeling alright from the accident and needed more support. If I hadn't moved across country I would never have gone anywhere else for a policy. Thank you for all of the support and I will happily be coming back if I return to MA.

I was very unhappy with my former agent so I contacted Christine at Bell and Hudson to see what I had for options. Not only did she save me nearly $400 a year, but increased my coverage. Christine was super communicative and walked we through everything she was doing for me. The easiest insurance transaction I've ever had. Highly recommend this agency and Christine!

We have been with Bell & Hudson since moving here more than 40 years ago but, fortunately, have rarely had a claim. As an independent agent they regularly review our account to get us the best possible rates. When we had damage to our home from ice dams a few years ago they worked with us and negotiated on our behalf with both the contractor and the insurance company to get us the best possible settlement. I really believe they represent our interests. They are also very committed to supporting causes in our community and beyond.

Bell and Hudson has by far exceeded my expectations. I had no idea working with an insurance company could be so pleasant! I would strongly recommend Bell and Hudson to anyone. Erin, the customer service representative, made the whole home and auto insurance process super smooth!

My family and I have been with Bell & Hudson for years. I have had auto, home and rental insurance with them. Everyone is very nice and always quick to answer any questions you may have. Bell & Hudson made things seamless when I was in any automobile accidents. When I was searching for home insurance, many agencies would not offer coverage because my very friendly Siberian Husky was a blacklisted breed. Bell & Hudson had no problem offering coverage. Definitely recommended! Thank you!

My family (me and my husband, his parents, and my parents) have all had our insurance with Bell and Hudson for years. We've gotten the best help from their agents. Everyone in the office is always kind, knowledgeable, and responsive. When we had a significant claim last year that was stressful to work through, but Bell and Hudson went way out of their way to address each issue we had and helped us fet the most out of our policy. I have the greatest confidence in them and am so grateful for their help.
