On Wednesday, Assurant announced an expansion of its partnership with Holman, which operates 59 dealerships across nine states.

Following Holman’s acquisition of Leith Automotive Group last year, Assurant now will support 30 newly added dealership locations with F&I 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.”

Shelby Preble, national director of finance at Holman, added, “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.

“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,” Preble went on to say.
