Steering & Securing Your Course for Insurance Since 1877
HISTORY
Located on Route 28, off exit 12 on I-495, the residents of Southeastern Massachusetts have enjoyed over 140 years of professional and trustworthy customer service. Established in 1877, our agency has always been a family-owned business. T.M. Ryder Insurance was founded by Thomas M. Ryder and succeeded by his nephew, Charles Ryder at the turn of the century. Ralph W. Maddigan went to work for Charles in the early 1900’s and bought the agency from him in 1917. Ralph W. Maddigan Jr. joined the agency after serving in WWII. In 1972, Ralph W. “Skip” Maddigan III joined the agency, and it was incorporated in 1973. Like his father and grandfather, Skip valued customer service and integrity. Kira and Kristi (both Skip’s daughters) joined the agency in 2011 and 2015, respectively and continue to carry on that tradition while bringing the business into the 21st century. Both are 4th generation in the family to be in the business. In 2017, T.M. Ryder celebrated 100 years of ownership and management in the Maddigan family.
