Bucci Insurance Group, a full service insurance agency founded in 1981 in Warwick, RI, has much to celebrate over the past 30 years. For one, as founder and owner, Tony Bucci, explains the growth of technology has drastically changed the insurance business. When Bucci began they had no computer, fax machine, or email, just a few hard working insurance agents ready to serve clients.

Today the insurance industry has become much more consumer driven and many large insurance companies have consolidated. Over the past 30 years and 3 offices Bucci’s main concern was always the customer. “Success for us was helping one policy holder at a time, year after year. The time really did fly by,” said Tony.

Over the year Bucci has also given back to the Rhode Island community. Currently Bucci is assisting Kent Hospital in fundraising efforts to purchase 28 iPads for hospital personelle, which will dramatically improve customer care. In addition Tony Bucci is keen on professional development and though he started with quite a lack of technology, the Rhode Island Insurance Blog is now a widely read insurance blog. Last year he sought to inmpart his technological and social media success with fellow business owners through a free social media seminar. The success of this seminar and the revolution of social media encouraged the implementation of a second annual social media seminar, which is taking place April 7th at the Airport Radisson Hotel.

Vice President, Mary Pellegri, describes how she is most proud of helping people through difficult times of financial loss and being a partner in controlling their policy costs.

After 30 years Tony still says, I and our staff here at Bucci insurance love to help people solve insurance
issues and problems. I see Bucci insurance continuing to offer outstanding customer service to
our community well into the future.”
