Have you heard?! Tami Bowden, Biggs' claims specialist, has officially retired after a 23-year long career with us!

She started in our Personal Lines department in August, 1999, and subsequently moved into Commercial Lines. Soon after, she began working with longtime producer and claims manager John Harrison; she later took on the position herself.

Starting a claim can be really stressful, and Tami always helped people navigate the process with empathy and expertise. 🥰

If you have any well-wishes you'd like to pass along, comment below! ⬇️
