As the oldest insurance agency in Russellville, Wood-Thompson Insurance Agency has been serving this community since 1953.
Though the Thompson family now resides in Madison, the agency remains in good hands here in Russellville under owner Sheila Underwood.
Underwood purchased the agency from Bill Thompson on June 1, 2000. Thompson, who also trained Underwood, is the son of one of the founders of the company, William Thompson.
Wood-Thompson is an independent insurance agency, meaning that they can represent more than one company. All companies represented by Wood-Thompson are “A” and best-rated. This allows them to shop coverages through different companies, offering their customers the best prices in any situation. Wood-Thompson has represented Auto Owners Insurance for more than 60 years.
The company has remained in its original location at 130 North Jackson Avenue since opening its doors in 1953. Wood-Thompson prides themselves on being available to all of their customers by opening their doors on Saturdays as well as Monday through Friday. They have been serving many of their customers for more than 30 years.
True to the company’s well-respected name, Underwood expressed her appreciation to the citizens of Russellville and surrounding areas she has had the privilege of insuring.
“We have many loyal, good customers in the area of Franklin County and the city of Russellville,” Underwood said.
Underwood has two employees, Jadonna Bowen and Melanie Ward, who have each been with her and the company for more than 15 years. Bowen manages the personal lines, while Ward is the office manager.
Wood-Thompson Insurance recently acquired Iron Mountain Insurance. Underwood and her staff are excited about serving the insurance needs of the former Iron Mountain insureds.
“We will be happy to assist you with any questions about this transition,” Underwood said. “We will work for you with the same service and dedication offered to our insureds the past 66 years.”
In appreciation to their customers, Wood-Thompson will be giving away a free car wash to one person per week for the month of April. All that a person must do to enter this giveaway is like and share the posts made on the Wood-Thompson Insurance Agency Facebook page.
