VINCENNES, IN / ACCESS Newswire / June 23, 2025 / WalkerHughes Insurance ("WalkerHughes") is proud to announce the addition of McCormick Insurance Agency, Inc. ("McCormick") to its growing network of agencies, further strengthening its presence in Vincennes, Indiana. This marks the second local agency to join WalkerHughes in the area, following the 2024 addition of United Insurance Services.
Founded in 1960 by Don McCormick, McCormick Insurance has served the Knox County community for over six decades with a strong focus on farm and personal insurance. The agency's deep roots in the community and commitment to personalized service reflect the values WalkerHughes strives to uphold across all its locations.
"McCormick Insurance is one of the oldest agencies in Vincennes, and our staff has been here longer than I have," said Lee Tuggle, co-owner of McCormick Insurance. "This team is more like family than coworkers, and our clients are more like friends. When it came time to consider the next chapter, it was important to find a partner who would honor those relationships. I'm confident we've found that in WalkerHughes."
Doug Steele, co-owner, added: "Vincennes is a unique town with a rich history, and we're proud to be part of it. From the very first conversation, it was clear that WalkerHughes values small towns and is committed to staying active in the communities they serve. That was important to us, not just for our clients, but for our staff and the future of this office."
The McCormick team will continue to operate from their current location in Vincennes, working alongside the United Insurance team to serve the broader Knox County area. The partnership brings expanded market access and enhanced resources to better serve clients while preserving the trusted relationships McCormick has built over generations.
"We are honored to welcome McCormick Insurance to the WalkerHughes family," said Benjamin Schoettmer, CEO of WalkerHughes Insurance. "Their legacy of service and deep community ties are exactly what we look for in a partner. This addition not only strengthens our presence in Southern Indiana but also reinforces our commitment to investing in local communities and delivering exceptional value to our clients."
