Published on Wednesday, November 19, 2008

Sandpiper Insurance Agency has merged with Dowling & O’Neil Insurance Agency.

Sandpiper Insurance, which has been operating on Cape Cod since 1991, has moved its operation from 12 Enterprise Road in Hyannis to Dowling & O’Neil’s office just around the corner at 973 Iyannough Road.

Key Sandpiper employees will now work under the Dowling & O’Neil banner. “It’s the perfect complement of staff and expertise,” said Rob Miller, principal of Dowling & O’Neil Insurance. “With the additional staff, we now have 22 customer service representatives dedicated to providing quality service.”

“The merger will benefit our customers,” said Christian Barber, of Sandpiper Insurance. “The combined buying power from insurance carriers means more options and competitive pricing for consumers,” he added.

Sandpiper Insurance Agency has already notified its customers of the merger to ensure a smooth transition. There will be no disruption in service and Sandpiper customers will continue with their current policies until renewal. If customers have questions, they can talk with a customer service representative at 508-775-1620.
