“We are proud to receive the distinction as one of the top 50 financial performers of all P&C insurance companies in the United States,” said First Insurance CEO Allen Uyeda, who is retiring at the end of July. “As the oldest and largest insurance company in Hawaii, we strive to provide superior services to Hawaii’s residents and businesses – a philosophy that has been part of our practice since 1911, and one that I have personally strived to achieve over the past 19 years. I am extremely humbled and honored to work alongside a strong team and want to thank our valued associates, agency partners and policyholders for contributing to our strength and long-term success in the Hawaii market.”
The Ward Group, a leader of company benchmarking and best practices services for the insurance industry, analyzes more than 3,000 P&C companies in the United States each year and lists the top companies as the “Ward’s 50.” This distinguished honor recognizes companies that have achieved superior performance over a five-year period (2009-2013) in the areas of safety, consistency and performance.
