About Our Company
Founded in 1921 by P.D. Worgess, the Worgess Insurance Agency relocated from Lapeer to Battle Creek in 1931 to pursue greater opportunity and long-term growth. Guided by the iconic slogan, “Let Worgess Do Your Worrying,” the agency quickly evolved from a home-based operation into a respected presence in the historic Post Building—laying the foundation for more than a century of trusted service.
The agency’s strength has been shaped by four generations of family leadership:
-
1st Generation: Founder P.D. Worgess
-
2nd Generation: Sons Russ and Don joined in 1946 following military service
-
3rd Generation: Doug, Bob, and Richard entered the business in the 1970s
-
4th Generation: Drew and Jake joined in the early 2000s
Now celebrating over 100 years of service, Worgess Insurance Agency operates from its primary downtown Battle Creek office (established in 2010) and a Kalamazoo branch (opened in 2008). By combining long-standing industry relationships with modern expertise and access to top insurance carriers, the Worgess Agency continues to deliver personalized insurance solutions for families and businesses throughout Michigan.
Meet the Team
“I’ve always received the best customer service at Worgess. I have mostly worked with Aubrey, and she is always knowledgeable, friendly and quick to answer questions and provide service. It is nice to have an agent you can rely on instead of calling a general customer service line and getting someone different every time. It makes a huge difference! Thanks, Worgess Team!”
“Worgess Insurance is a great company to work with. I work for a local car dealership and deal with Worgess often for customer insurance changes. Maggie who I deal with often is always friendly and gets the job done right away. I would highly recommend Worgess for all your insurance needs. Great customer service!!”
“My Mom and I both have Hedy as our agent and we both love her. When ever I call my Mom with car questions its not “Call your insurance company” its “Call Hedy” Thanks Hedy for always being so nice, professional, and informative. We appreciate you!”
“With Worgess, we’ve had low insurance prices and fantastic service. Each time we’ve contacted them, by phone or email, they’ve responded quickly and answered our questions thoroughly.”
