GCP141 - CoreVens Insurance w/Tim Hartsock & Jess Hartsock
In this episode of the Grow Clinton Podcast, Jenny and Andy are joined by Tim and Jess Hartsock of Core-Vens Insurance, based in Clinton, Iowa.
The Core-Vens team discusses the company's history, future plans, industry changes, and answers common questions to help you choose the right policy for your personal or business needs.
Core-Vens & Company, Inc. was founded on September 1, 1963, by Bill Core and Ray Vens. The office was located at 1531 North Second Street, in the former Joyce Lumber Company building. Known for their proactive approach, the Core-Vens agency quickly made a significant impact on the insurance scene for Clinton's residents and businesses.
Bill Core served as president from 1963 to 1975. In 1976, Ray Vens was elected president, a role he held until 1993. That year, Ray Vens reorganized the company and stepped down as president. His son, Chris Vens, was elected president and CEO and continues in that role today.
