Lamar-based Golden Plains Insurance Agency, Inc. has announced another expansion with the acquisition of Jennifer Morlan Insurance, LLC, of Lamar. The purchase becomes effective May 1, 2016.

Jennifer Morlan Insurance opened in 2009 to successfully serve clients across southeast Colorado, most recently from an office at 420 North Main Street in Lamar. Golden Plains is also acquiring that building.

Current Jennifer Morlan customers will be re-directed to the Golden Plains Insurance office at 109 West Lee Avenue, #16, in Lamar where Nick Palmer and his team look forward to continuing to serve the needs of Jennifer’s clients.

Golden Plains Insurance will be renovating the former Morlan offices and moving its headquarters to the Main Street location in 2016 or early 2017.

Golden Plains Insurance has offices in Lamar, Holly, Springfield and Walsh to serve clients across southern Colorado and surrounding states.

“Both our companies are very customer-focused,” stated Palmer. “I’m very pleased to welcome Jennifer’s clients to our family, and look forward to providing an exceptional level of service to all of our customers.”

Palmer stressed that the acquisition will not change current Jennifer Morlan Insurance customers’ policies or service, but will improve their access to a wide array of insurances options with Golden Plains.

“As an independent insurance agency, Golden Plains enjoys the freedom to write policies for many companies, and search for the best offer to meet the needs of customers, not the profit needs of shareholders,” said Palmer.

Golden Plains Insurance is licensed in Colorado, Kansas, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Nebraska and Oklahoma, and offers a variety of insurance policies, including

• Farm/Ranch
• Auto
• Homeowners
• Commercial
• Bonds
• Boat
• Event
• Specialty Types
• Multi Peril Crop
• Crop Hail

Customers of the former Jennifer Morlan Insurance will not need to take any steps to continue their existing insurance coverage. All records and information have been automatically transferred to Golden Plains Insurance Agency, Inc., and policies remain in effect without interruption.
