Westfield Distribution: Built on Relationships. Positioned for What's Next.

Strong agency relationships have always been at the heart of Westfield's success. As our industry evolves, so does our commitment to investing in the people, strategies and resources that help independent agencies grow and thrive.

Welcoming Jess Hendricks, Head of Agency Relations

As part of that commitment, Westfield recently welcomed Jessica "Jess" Hendricks as Head of Agency Relations.

In this role, Jess will lead the team responsible for many of the key touchpoints across the agency lifecycle, helping strengthen how we support agencies from appointment, licensing and onboarding through ongoing relationship engagement, compensation and agency servicing.

Jess's leadership ensures a seamless, connected and relationship-focused experience for agencies at every stage of their journey with Westfield.

As Craig Welsh Prepares to Retire on July 1, His Impact Continues

Jess joins a Distribution organization that is rooted in a longstanding commitment to agency relationships built on trust, a foundation shaped in large part by Craig Welsh's dedication over the past three decades.

After more than 30 years of service, Craig retires from Westfield on July 1. From helping establish Westfield's Agribusiness Division to building and leading the Distribution organization, Craig's influence can be seen in the people, relationships and strategies that continue to move our business forward.

Looking Ahead

Today, Westfield's Distribution organization continues to evolve through investments in talent, enhanced agency engagement strategies and a continued focus on helping agencies succeed.

As we thank Craig for his remarkable contributions and welcome Jess into her new role, one thing remains unchanged: our commitment to the independent agency channel and the relationships that have defined Westfield for generations.

We look forward to continuing that journey together.
