“We’re honored by this recognition which validates our unique approach which is a better way to insure your home and help keep rates affordable,” said George Schaeffer, People’s Trust Chairman and CEO. “Our goal isn’t to be the biggest; it’s to be Florida’s best prepared homeowner’s insurance company. We want to build on our innovative business model and maintain the financial strength and upfront investments needed to weather the impacts of any future storms so that we will be there for our policyholders when they need us most.”
