Assurant, a protection company that works to safeguard and service connected devices, homes and automobiles in partnership with leading brands, expanded the company’s partnership with Holman, one of the largest privately owned U.S. dealership groups with 59 dealerships across nine states.
Following Holman’s 2024 acquisition of Leith Automotive Group, Assurant will support 30 newly added dealership locations with finance-and-insurance products, dealership sales and F&I training, and participation program guidance.
“As Holman’s trusted performance development partner since 2016, we are excited for the opportunity to deepen our collaboration,” said Joe Amendola, vice president of business development and strategy at Assurant Dealer Services. “We have successfully onboarded the newest Holman dealership teams and are energized to work even more closely to elevate customer satisfaction and drive meaningful results.”
“Assurant has played an important role in our efforts to drive F&I profitability to record levels in the nearly 10 years we have worked together,” said Holman National Director of Finance Shelby Preble. “As we welcomed these already well-run dealerships into the organization, we wanted to ensure consistency across our entire family of dealerships and continue to optimize performance. Through our partnership with Assurant, our newest platform in North Carolina is already up over $200 PVR, providing the resources our dealerships need to continue to thrive while also helping us deliver an exceptional customer experience.”
