Valley Insurance was established in 1978 by Gordon Hard and originally operated out of Geneva, Illinois. Gordon sold Valley Insurance to Drake Kelly in 2017 and retired in 2018. Throughout Gordon’s 40 years of service at Valley, he built a solid foundation centered around community service, trust, and strong partnerships with clients. Valley Insurance has continued to build on the strong foundation set by Gordon. In 2020, after a period of rapid growth and expansion, Valley Insurance purchased and moved into a 29,000 square foot facility in Naperville, IL.
Valley Insurance has continued to broaden our footprint in Illinois, the Midwest, and surrounding states. Most recently, Valley Insurance expanded into the great state of Wisconsin! We are now operating in Delavan, WI with an awesome team that is hungry for growth. Our entire organization is committed to offering elite service to our current clients and future clients, while creating great opportunities for our team members to maximize their full potential with growth. Equally as important, Valley Insurance is dedicated to our local communities and charities. We are laser-focused on making sure that our success has a positive impact on others around us. In short, Valley Insurance is dedicated to assisting our clients, lifting up our team-members, and supporting our local communities/charities.
