January 26, 2010
Palm Beach, FL (January 26, 2010) - Following the 2008 acquisition of The Claude D. Reese Agency by The Celedinas Insurance Group - two of the oldest and most prominent insurance organizations in the Palm Beaches - the company has combined its two Palm Beach operations to form Celedinas & Reese Insurance. Celedinas & Reese has returned to the ocean block of Royal Palm Way where the Claude D. Reese Agency served as a landmark since the 1920’s. Claude D. Reese Sr. started the company that for more than seven decades occupied offices just steps from the statue of his grandfather, Elisha Newton “Cap” Dimick, patriarch to one of Palm Beach’s founding families. The statue marks the dramatic entrance to the town at the east end of Royal Park Bridge.
Palm Beach does have unique challenges associated with insurance coverage and this can be quite daunting for many clients and their insurance advisors.” says Ray Celedinas, a Palm Beach resident and President and CEO of the Celedinas Insurance Group. “We have the unique ability of providing clients the experience and insight of Palm Beach’s oldest boutique insurance firm along with all the benefits and advantages of working with one of America’s largest privately held insurance brokers. It’s really hard to compete with that.”
Celedinas & Reese is licensed nationally and specializes in risk management and insurance for Palm Beach families and businesses. With a profound understanding of the challenges unique to the Florida insurance marketplace and long-standing relationship with the nation’s leading luxury insurance carriers, the company offers clients an array of options along with completely objective and unbiased advice. Areas of specialization include luxury homes and automobiles, personal excess liability, private collections, yachts aircraft, and advanced life insurance planning.
“Since every client is different, our solutions are not one size fits all. In fact, our goal is to deliver not just one or two options, but to provide clients with multiple solutions. By using as many as five different well known national carriers that specialize in the High Net Worth marketplace we are able to achieve that goal. Clients are impressed with our creativity as well as our attention to detail. We truly believe that if we do what’s best for our clients while delivering the highest level of professional advice and local client service available, we all win,” adds Jack Flagg, a Palm Beach resident and insurance industry veteran who joined Celedinas in 2009 as vice-president.
Founded locally, the Celedinas Insurance Group is one of Palm Beach County's oldest insurance agencies and was recently featured in the Insurance Journal as one of the top privately held independent agencies in the country. Celedinas is one of the very few insurance firms in America with direct access to all five luxury insurance companies, including ACE Private Risk, Chartis, Chubb, Fireman's Fund and PURE. These relationships, coupled with exhaustive analysis of policy terms and conditions, enable Celedinas & Reese to consistently exceed their client’s expectations.
“Celedinas & Reese is a firm that stands alone with over 130 years of combined experience serving the residents of Palm Beach and the surrounding area. Over the years, we have developed a rich tradition of being available to our clients - not only during the good times, but also after natural catastrophes when clients need us most. The fact that we are a local firm and have been here so long is very reassuring to our clients.” For more information about Celedinas & Reese, please contact Ray Celedinas at 561.655.8744 or visit www.celedinas.com.
