Starke Agency has managed Robert Henry Tile Company’s risk and insurance programs for over sixty years. Over that time period, the worst damage done to Robert Henry Tile Company’s facilities happened early one Saturday morning.
Robert Henry, Jr., chairman of Robert Henry Tile Company, woke to a call from the fire department. He soon learned that an electrical fire had started in an overhead area between the roof and ceiling of his warehouse/showroom. The fire had quickly escalated. Before the fire department was able to respond, the majority of the building was destroyed.
Within an hour, both the insurance company adjuster and a Starke executive were evaluating the damage. From the initial evaluation to the replacement building being completed, Starke Agency stayed in touch with Robert Henry Tile to ensure everything progressed smoothly.
In the end, Robert Henry Tile Company was able to use the insurance money to move to a more strategic location and build an improved warehouse/showroom to better fit their expanding needs.
“The fire completely destroyed our office – warehouse – showroom building. Starke Agency’s employees were extremely helpful to us as we struggled to continue servicing our customers and generating new sales. With Starke’s help we were able to overcome the many problems created by the fire.”
