Wilk and Son was founded in 1927 by George H. Wilkinson. He was joined by his only son, George G. Wilkinson, in the early 1940's. Together they grew the agency on a foundation of friendly customer service and dedication to offer knowledgeable service at competitive rates.
More than 80 years and four generations later, Gregory T. Wilkinson, along with his daughters, Theresa and Catherine, still strive to give their customers the same dedicated customer service his father and grandfather founded their business on so many years ago.
The agency's goal is to ensure that our customers and their families can be confident in the fact that their satisfaction is our #1 priority.
