Ashley Thomas Program Manager, Gallagher Franchise Solutions

I have been managing the insurance needs of franchise owners for more than 10 years and I absolutely love it. I think it’s the challenge of finding you the right insurance for your franchise and getting you the absolute best rate that keeps me going. It’s fun to put myself in your shoes for a while so you can focus on your business and not worry about all the complexities of business insurance – that’s where I come in. It’s a lot like football. I look at the playing field, find where you might be vulnerable and then make sure you have all the blockers (protection) in place so you can hold on to the ball and score. Just like insurance, no two plays are alike and you have to know your stuff.
