Ames & Gough’s CLIENT FIRST philosophy is founded on four principles
Industry Expertise
Service by Senior People
Strategic Advice
Client Advocacy
Ames & Gough was started in 1992 by Marty Ames and Gary Gough. Prior to starting Ames & Gough, Marty Ames was the executive vice president and chief operating officer of Victor O. Schinnerer and responsible for managing the Schinnerer/CNA architect/engineer insurance program. Gary Gough served as a special risk management and claims advisor for Schinnerer/CNA. Prior to that, Gary was executive vice president and general counsel for HDR as well as serving in the general counsel’s office for Peter Kiewit Corporation.
Marty and Gary envisioned a different type of insurance brokerage model. Their idea was to create a firm staffed by professionals knowledgeable in the insurance and risk management needs of design professionals. The backgrounds of our professional staff include former senior insurance company executives, former professional liability insurance underwriters, attorneys and claim specialists. As a flat organization structure, each partner is personally responsible for client service, thus our clients benefit from more timely response to their insurance and risk management needs.
Ames & Gough continues to be an industry-focused specialty insurance brokerage. We serve clients domiciled in 50 states and consult on risk and insurance issues around the world from our offices in Boston, Philadelphia, Orlando, Charlotte, and Washington, D.C. Our exceptional client retention rate is a reflection of our commitment to service.
