WILBRAHAM — Despite strong winds and rain, The Magnolia Agency cut the ribbon to officially open their new location at 95 Office Park on Dec. 19. They specialize in captives, insurance and surety for construction, manufacturing, retail and distribution.
State Sen. Jake Oliveira was at the event to recognize the opening, along with Bruce Adams on behalf of state Rep. Angelo Puppolo. Oliveira said he was proud that more “Ludlow people were infiltrating Wilbraham.”
Daniel Dias was brought in to manage the location by Magnolia founders Rich Varrato and Lou Gold. He said in a press release that he is “excited and humbled to be a part of the Magnolia Agency’s opening.”
“I began my insurance journey under the wings of my grandfather, Albert Dias,” Dias said in the release. “It was then that I realized I had a passion for insurance and truly enjoyed meeting new people and developing long-lasting relationships. I am excited to bring that legacy to Wilbraham, with The Magnolia Agency.”
