Rey Insurance Agency Is Honored With A Family Business Award

Rey Insurance Agency was recently honored at an event focused on celebrating family entrepreneurs when it was chosen as a winner of the Westfair Communications Family-Owned Business Awards.

Twenty family businesses from Westchester and Fairfield counties representing diverse industries were selected by industry leaders in their respective fields as honorees at the event. More than 200 people attended the ceremony, which was held at 1133 Westchester Ave. in White Plains, New York.

Founded by Francisco Rey in 1978 with the goal of making insurance accessible for everyone in English and Spanish, Rey Insurance Agency was bought in 2013 by his daughters, Linda and Laura.

“I think the most important thing for us is that our father taught us to be resourceful and figure it out, and we’ve been figuring it out now for almost twenty years between the two of us,” said Linda Rey of herself and Laura. “We really are proud of what we accomplished and what my father established.”

Westfair Communications Publisher Dee DelBello said winners were chosen based on a number of factors including the number of years in business, how many generations are participating, the success and continuity of the business and how the business gives back to the community.

“The Business Journals believe that family-owned businesses deserve recognition for their creativity, hard work and tenaciousness,” DelBello said. “The Westchester County Business Journal and its sister publication, Fairfield County Business Journal, host the annual Family-Owned Business Awards because from the newspapers’ vantage point family-owned businesses are driving the economy in the region and indeed the nation, with family-owned businesses accounting for 50 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product.”
