We are thrilled to announce Ferri Dawson Insurance Group won Best Insurance Agent in Westmoreland County and Allegheny East in the 2024 TribLIVE Best of the Best Awards.  Each year the TribLIVE grants these official community choice awards by allowing the community to submit nominations to identify the top 5 businesses in each category – which appear on the ballot.  Readers then vote from these finalists to name the top 3 in each category – including the winner.

The Best of the Best Awards celebrate and recognize the best the community has to offer.  This is an incredible achievement, as over 65,000 nominations were counted last year in the initial round of the Westmoreland regional contest.  Winning or placing among the top two finalists in the TribLIVE Best of the Best Community Choice Awards is a prestigious achievement that reflects a company’s excellence in its respective industry. 

Licensed agent, Taylor Gallagher, stated “As a lifelong Greensburg resident, I look forward to casting my vote in the Best of the Best awards.  Voting meant a great deal more to me this year, particularly because FDIG won or placed in the top three since the inception of the contest.  When you work for a driven, dedicated, and passionate employer, your heart is tied to contests like Best of the Best.  As a licensed agent at FDIG, I am driven to work hard to meet the standard necessary to earn the nomination.  It’s an honor to be nominated in the company of fellow top tier businesses who also lead by example.  Earning Best Insurance Agency in Westmoreland County & Allegheny East proved that the authentic effort advocating for clients is working as we pour ourselves into our service and local community.  We always give our very best to our clients and stive to ensure they have a positive experience working with the team at FDIG.”

Licensed agent, Marla Fleming shared, “As a resident of Westmoreland County, I have always enjoyed voting for businesses deserving this recognition.  This year was particularly special as I had the honor of being part of a dedicated team striving for the title of Best of the Best.  I have worked at several insurance agencies throughout my insurance career.  I joined the FDIG team at the beginning of the year and fell in love with the FDIG way.  At Ferri Dawson Insurance Group, we work hard every day to provide excellent service, create a welcoming environment, and build a committed team.  Our goal is to establish long-lasting relationships with our customers based on their trust in us to protect what matters most.  Between my previous experience compared to FDIG, I see clearly why we are deserving of this title and prestigious award.  We are honored that FDIG has been awarded both Best of the Best in Westmoreland County and Allegheny East for 2024. This recognition reflects the positive impact we have on our customers and the community.  I am truly proud to be a part of this incredible team and agency.”
