Welcoming Gallagher Insurance to the United Insurance Team

As Maine’s fastest-growing independent insurance agency, we have worked diligently to build a dedicated team of professionals to serve the people and businesses in our communities. We’re thrilled to welcome Gallagher Insurance to our expanding team at United Insurance.  

Gallagher Insurance was founded by E Gerald (Jerry) Gallagher at his Presque Isle home in 1985. In 1989, he purchased the Nelson Insurance Agency, and the E.G. Gallagher Agency moved to 562 Main Street in Caribou. Jerry Gallagher’s son-in-law Brian Sipe joined the agency in 1995, became a partner in 1997, and purchased the agency outright in 1999. Brian and his team serve over 1,400 commercial and personal insurance clients from their Main Street Caribou office. Joining the United Insurance team are Agency Manager Brian Sipe, Account Manager Allana Rideout, and Account Manager Stacy Robey.   

“For the past forty years, the Gallagher Insurance team has been a respected competitor of our Caribou, Fort Fairfield, and Presque Isle offices,” United Insurance CEO Zack Frechette explained. “We’re delighted to add their considerable expertise to our team and welcome their clients to our family.”  

“We have always offered great coverage and a really good value, but outstanding service is how we keep our clients happy,” Brian said. “Teaming up with United Insurance enables us to provide the same service we always have with more coverage options for our clients and growth opportunities for our team.”   

With the addition of Gallagher Insurance, we look forward to continuing our dedication to serving the Caribou, Fort Fairfield, and Presque Isle communities, just as we have done for over 156 years.
