A Covington entrepreneur recently earned a prestigious service designation and was placed among the top agencies within his field.

James Dolvin, exclusive owner of The Dolvin Insurance Agency located at 1135 Church Street in Covington, was designated an Allstate Premier Agency for 2014.

The business leader and involved citizen was presented the designation for his “outstanding business performance and commitment to putting customers at the center of the agency’s work.” The Allstate Premier Agency designation is given to less than 48 percent of Allstate’s nearly 10,000 agency owners across the country, according to an Allstate press release.

“This award is not just about successful business results,” said Field Senior Vice President Bob Holden. “It also demonstrates James’s commitment to being accessible to customers and leveraging expertise to help ensure customers have the insurance solutions they need to protect themselves and their families.”
