The Ward Agency is one of Texas’ leading employee benefits brokerage and advisory firms. The Ward Agency was founded in 1964 by Jack Ward with an emphasis on establishing long term client relationships based on integrity and trust. These founding principles guide our everyday operations. We're proud to say that some of our client relationships now span over 30 years. Our office in Longview, TX brings more than 100 years of combined insurance experience and expertise to work for our clients.
In 2018, The Ward Agency became a part of HUB International. This new partnership greatly expanded the resources and services we offer our clients, while maintaining our local market knowledge and friendly professional staff.
We work with employers of all sizes, including nonprofits and governmental entities. We serve over 200 employer clients in East Texas. We specialize in both fully insured and self-funded medical plans. A key ingredient to our success is our ability to incorporate cost containment strategies over a multiyear approach while maintaining a concern for employee satisfaction and corporate culture.
We constantly monitor the market to find proven, innovative plans and programs from a wide variety of providers, and tailor solutions specifically for your needs. The result: our clients get the best plans and best value possible.
