Attention: To Whom It May Concern
Everyone at Chittenden Group has been nothing but wonderful to work with. Anytime I had a question regarding my policy or needed a copy or even a change to our policy it was done professionally and promptly.
We had to even put a claim in on our insurance policy due to an unfortunate accident. The guidance and ease of submitting the claim with the assistance of the employees at the Chittenden Group made even the most unpleasant exercise feel like a pleasant experience.
I would recommend Chittenden Group to all of my friends and family.
Many Thanks ~

The Chittenden Group has earned my business. I had challenged the Group with a project many years ago. They listened to my requirements and provided expert advice and support, resulting in the placement of our insurance with this Group.
They have proven to be a professional group to work with, and are clearly looking out for our best interests. The proof is in the performance, follow-through and delivery. The staff members provide quality service and are most eager to assist. Immediate attention is given to every detail, which has reduced the time and effort that I would have to expend.
The Chittenden Group has been supporting and administering our insurance requirements for over 10 years. They continue to earn our confidence and trust.
