From it's humble beginnings in the 1860's, Bell & Hudson has grown into a successful full service insurance agency---the first in Hampshire County to receive the Massachusetts Association of Insurance Agents (MAIA) coveted Five Star Award of Distinction. Only 2% of all insruance agencies in MA have achieved this distinction. Bell & Hudson isn't tied to any one company. In fact, we represent more than 20 of the leading insurance carriers. This affords us a degree of flexibility completely beyond that of any captive agency, and allows us to handpick the insurance carriers with whom we choose to work--selecting the best carriers for different lines of service. Moreover, our independence allows us to effectively address cost and coverage concerns which is important to most customers.
