Our History
Launched on New Year’s Day in 1982, a new general agency opened with great excitement in the Piedmont region of North Carolina. Burlington native W.E. Love, Jr., or “Dub” as he hailed within the truck insurance world, was ready to “do it again, but this time a little better” with his formations of W. E. Love and Associates, Inc. (WEL).
Our workday motto has always read: “Like what you do and do it well.” WEL became the first general agency to receive the designation of Certified Managing General Agency from the American Association of Managing General Agents in 1987. Today, we honor WEL’s historic contribution to our community’s insurance heritage by embracing every aspect of a thorough, efficient and friendly work environment. Certainly, Burlington owes much of its significant insurance presence to Dub, but in return, life here continues to be pretty darn good for all of us. Come visit us and judge for yourself!
