Tedford Insurance
Purpose
ATI Insurance Group, Inc. is commonly known as “Tedford Insurance” and was established in 1978 by George and Kay Tedford. George Tedford had a single goal: provide sound insurance advice and coverage. George believed in the power of relationships; he knew the level of trust and responsibility that comes with this profession. He believed his value was in the process not the product.
George Tedford passed away in 2004. The passion he had is still alive in the legacy of Tedford Insurance. His son, and owner, Mark Tedford leads a team of over 60 employees, many of whom worked alongside his dad so many years ago. Mark maintains his own book of business and tends to clients personally. He takes every opportunity to mentor employees, sharing the same wisdom his father shared with him as he learned the family business. For more than forty-five years running and it’s still about more than selling insurance.

Mission
At Tedford Insurance, we are passionate about protecting dreams. As a 2nd generation business owner, Mark understands what’s at stake. He believes every insurance solution should be customized to fit the needs of the business. Many other insurance agencies commoditize their products. They bundle policies and offer a generic cookie cutter solution based on what they think you need. We reject this product-driven business model. Instead, Tedford Insurance is people driven. Our priority isn’t to push a product, but to truly understand our clients’ businesses and what drives their success. Customizing a coverage plan that protects the vision of a company, its assets and its people is what we mean when we say, “protecting dreams.”
