The Varney family all came together to launch ‘We are Varney’ – an internal campaign to celebrate our story. The adventure that took us from an autoparts store in the 60s to an insurance agency that now spans 30 locations across Maine. Our fighter’s mentality – how we always put clients first. And of course, our people – the thrivers who’ve got us to where we are today. It was only right that we held the first event in Bangor – where Bill Varney opened that first autoparts store – with all three Varney generations in town to kick it all off. The We are Varney roadshow was back on the road, going south to Auburn for the second launch event. These events are just the start. Stay tuned for more We are Varney updates throughout the year. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the event, and to all who helped bring it all together. What a couple of nights!
