A Milestone for Glastonbury Insurance Executive

Neil Scranton, regional president with GoodWorks Insurance in Glastonbury, is celebrating his 40th year as an independent insurance agent and entrepreneur.

Scranton co-founded Scranton & Johnson Inc., an independent insurance agency in Glastonbury in late 1975. Over the years it grew to become one of the most successful agencies in suburban Hartford and was one of the largest insurance agencies for auto dealers and repair shops in the state, and its successor, GoodWorks Insurance, remains one today.

The Glastonbury resident sold the company to GoodWorks Insurance in 2012 and has remained active in the business.

“Back when Neil began his agency, there weren’t any computers, and cell phones were science fiction,” said Paul Brian, GoodWorks Insurance’s chief operating officer. “But one thing hasn’t changed a bit — Neil has always been dedicated to putting the customer first and giving impeccable insurance advice.”

Scranton holds the Certified Insurance Councilor (CIC) designation and is a graduate of Northeastern University.

Based in Glastonbury, GoodWorks Insurance uniquely donates 50 percent of its profits to local charities. It insures families and businesses in Massachusetts and Connecticut, with six offices in the two states.
