Crawford-Henderson Insurance

1202 N. Spence Ave., Goldsboro 778-9400

For more than 100 years, eastern North Carolina residents have entrusted their insurance needs to Crawford- Henderson Inc.

The company was established in 1892.

John R. Crawford first opened his company in the back room of the old Goldsboro Book Store on South Center Street. Since then, Crawford-Henderson has moved several times and is now in its fifth location on North Spence Avenue.

The company specializes in property and liability insurance, life and health insurance and group life and health insurance. Crawford-Henderson also handles insurance for long-term care, disability, annuities and Medicare supplements.

"We focus on insurance only," current owner John L. Henderson said.

It has been the company's reputation for high-quality service that has kept clients coming back to entrust Crawford-Henderson with their insurance needs.

And part of that trust comes from knowing that Crawford Henderson's staff strives to remain at the top of their field. All employees are licensed. They also attend different schools annually to update their knowledge on insurance products as well as how to better serve the community.

Because of that expertise and commitment, they move past the normal insurance offerings and try to give their clients more.

"We emphasize risk reduction, not just insurance for our clients," Henderson said. "We offer a total benefits package."

Crawford-Henderson Inc. is a client-oriented business with "a lot of experience in all areas of property and liability insurance."

Their clients make their business a successful one, and Henderson said he wouldn't have his business anywhere else. He calls Goldsboro home.

"I was born here and investigated several other areas to live and work," he said. "The people here and the opportunity for community service was my overwhelming preference."
