Morris & Garritano Insurance has been a longstanding staple in the Central Coast community, insuring and protecting many of the region’s most valuable businesses.
Providing coverage for businesses of all sizes, Morris & Garritano goes above and beyond offering personalized education and advocacy for their clients regarding employee benefits, workers’ compensation, and human resources & compliance services.
The company was recently named “Large Business of the Year” by the Santa Maria Chamber of Commerce, recognized for its incredible efforts during the past and particularly difficult year.
“People are our heart and soul, and it’s also a reflection of our approach,” said Morris & Garritano Principal and Senior Risk Advisor, Dan Troy. “This past year really tested everybody, but what made us successful is our people.”
Morris & Garritano’s longtime headquarters is based in San Luis Obispo, but the company is rapidly expanding its service and presence into neighboring regions. With a growing Santa Maria office and several new additions to the company, accessibility for the Santa Barbara County community has never been better.
In addition to a full team of service professionals, Morris & Garritano has a group of enthusiastic Commercial and Benefits Advisors dedicated to helping Santa Barbara County businesses with their insurance programs. Morris & Garritano saw exciting growth internally with the addition of several new team members including Allie Borja, Daniel Vordale, Travis Biegel and Lynette Dunn in the past year.
Bringing 25 years of experience in customer service and sales, Allie Borja is a Central Coast native and Cal Poly alumma who works hard alongside business owners to protect their people and their assets which they’ve worked so hard to develop and maintain.
