“As I am still new to the captive I am not sure I have a great amount of insight yet.  I would say that for me the main factor is trust.  I may not know everything there is to know about insurance, but I can trust the people within our captive to help me if ever I need it.”

Anna Gavin, President, Fireline Corporation 

“The biggest benefits of being an owner of CPIC are the ability to control our own destiny with insurance claims and being able to share best practices with my peers and glean want I need to implement to improve my business.”

David O'Connell, President, Wilson of Wallingford 

“Charter Partners has helped fill the void of having neither the time nor the vehicle to benefit from partnering w/ other companies (even in alternative industries). Beyond that, Charter Partners has skin in the game with us which helps validate our business relationship all the more. Thanks Charter Partners!”

Bob Harriett, President Harriett’s Energy Solutions 

“The main benefit that I see is we have more control and input over the insurance process. A side benefit is those insurance salesmen no longer nag me.  As soon as I tell them we are in a captive they hang up or leave.”

Steve Ohl, Owner, R.F.Ohl Fuel Oil 

“As one of the companies involved with Charter Partners since the beginning we have experienced enormous value in our association with first the rent-a-captive and then the CPIC Captive. We have experienced stability of premium, excellent customer service from CP personnel as well as the insurers. Shopping for insurance is time consuming, but sometimes necessary, but over the years we have found premiums to be very competitive and customer service exceptional. Also, the ability to meet and work within peer groups gives everyone a sense of purpose in order to keep losses down, which ultimately does the same for premiums. The benefit of knowing your own losses helps to stay focused on keeping losses to a minimum. Susquehanna Fire Equipment is pleased to be associated with the Captive and the CP personnel that we interact with frequently.”

Max L. Foust, II, President, Susquehanna Fire Equipment Co. 

“Being part of the Charter Partners Insurance Company captive brings me peace-of-mind.  Steady insurance rates and personal input regarding claims is an owner’s dream!”

Steve Oehlert, President, Oehlert Bros., Inc.

“I have belonged to Charter Partners for a number of years.  In my long time search for stability in the ever changing insurance market, I found Charter Partners.  In the journey of getting to know the Charter Partner team and their programs, I found many advantages.  At their meetings I get to interact with other independent fire equipment distributers to discuss our many mutual needs. We have discussed many issues.  Among the many issues that Charter Partners has helped with are: legalese for our documents, obtaining an attorney to help support contracts, safety programs, and many webinars on subjects of interest to business owners.  Also the staff has always been attentive and prompt to address my needs.  I feel very fortunate to have found them and to be accepted into the group.”

Stephen White, President, White Fire Extinguishers   

“The top benefit of participating in CP is exactly that..."PARTICIPATING!"...to learn about insurance, and therefore have a better understanding of a major company expense, to have input in the claim process as well as all I have learned about improving safety and controlling costs through safety initiatives has been priceless.”

Douglas D. Dolinar, General Manager, Guidemark Inc.
