Over the past nine years, The Uhl Agency has more than doubled its revenue through new sales, acquisitions and its long-term business plan, according to the release.
The company added access to new insurance companies in 2018 when it purchased a book of personal insurance from another agency.
“We have always stayed true to our long-term strategic plan and I am happy to be a part of it all in a bigger way now. Our steady growth over the last nine years is due to the culture and consistency of our team and the dependable customer service that we provide our clients each day,” Kreusch said.

The agency first launched in 1959 by Bill Uhl Sr., a University of Dayton basketball star, and has focused on customer service since, according to the release. He passed the company on to Bill Uhl Jr. and Deborah Franz in 1996 before Franz retired in 2017.
“Dad always believed in customer service and making sure the company transitioned management on to the younger generations as the business grew,” Uhl said.
Uhl Agency’s revenues from premiums top $15 million annually, according to the company. About half the agency’s business is in personal property and casualty insurance and the other half in business insurance, the company said.
