Last month, C.T. Lowndes & Company of Charleston, the oldest independent insurance agency in the state of South Carolina, celebrated 175 years of providing clients with products and services to protect their homes and businesses and respond to their evolving needs.
The agency has navigated changing markets, technological innovations that have completely transformed the lives of their clients and ways of doing business, economics booms and recessions, fires, hurricanes, earthquakes and the Civil War. As part of its year-long celebration, CT Lowndes has re-committed to give back to the communities it serves with pledges of support for local charities and initiatives that align with their values of community engagement, education and economic development.
To honor the agency's legacy of innovation, quality of service and commitment to the good of the industry as well as leadership in the Big I state association, IIABSC President/CEO Becky McCormack presented agency leadership with a resolution from our national association during their anniversary celebration. IIABSC Chair of the Board Robbie Nalley also presented agency CEO Bill Silcox with a Chair Citation and a Resolution from the South Carolina Senate during the IIABSC Spring Conference.
The Senate Resolution was introduced by State Senator Sutton of District 20:
"To congratulate CT Lowndes & Company Insurance Agency upon the occasion of its One Hundred Seventy Fifth anniversary and to commend the agency for its many years of dedicated service to Horry County Community and the people and state of South Carolina."
