About

Archway History

Archway Insurance Brokers was formed in 2003 by four independent insurance agencies in the heart of Silicon Valley. The four agencies, Clayton Insurance (est. 1867), Dempsey Insurance established 1930, Micor Insurance (est. 1981), and Valley General Insurance (est. 1975)–have one common goal: to provide the best possible service to our clients.

At Archway, we work as a TEAM with a full-service staff capable of handling all of our clients needs. As independent brokers, we work with an array of insurance carriers, so we can focus on finding our clients the right product and coverage specifically for their industry.

We are large enough to provide a full range of services from our professional staff, who select products from scores of quality insurance companies. At the same time, we are small enough to give you the personal service you need and deserve.
