After more than 60 years of serving Utah Valley under the name L.A. Bowen Insurance, the Orem-based agency—now proudly part of Inszone Insurance Services—has received its eighth consecutive Best of Utah award. While the name on the sign has changed, the dedicated team, core values, and community commitment that built a legacy remain unchanged—and are stronger than ever.
This marks the first time the award has been won since the agency joined Inszone in September 2024, highlighting a seamless transition that honors the agency’s heritage while positioning it for continued growth and success.
Legacy Team, New Chapter
Founded in 1961, L.A. Bowen Insurance quickly became a trusted fixture in Utah Valley, known for its iconic two-story glass office in Orem and strong local relationships built over generations. Layne Bowen, who started at the agency as a file clerk at age 18, shaped its trajectory and became the sole owner in 2007, guiding the firm into one of the region’s most respected agencies.
In 2024, Layne made the decision to merge with Inszone Insurance Services, a move centered on continuity and long-term support.
“Inszone provided the strongest vision moving forward,” said Layne Bowen. “I wanted to ensure our clients continued to receive the same level of service. Their structure allows us to continue building strong client relationships while benefiting from expanded resources and administrative support.”
Staying Local, Growing Smarter
Today, the Orem team, formerly known as L.A. Bowen Insurance, continues to serve clients from the same location, with the same trusted team and focus on exceptional service. Now backed by Inszone’s national infrastructure and expanded carrier access, the team is able to deepen its impact without compromising its community roots.
“This award represents more than just another win—it’s proof that local agencies can thrive and become even stronger with the right support behind them,” said Sara Evans, Regional President – Mountain West at Inszone Insurance. “The Orem team’s commitment to their clients and community is unmatched, and we’re incredibly proud to support them and grow their legacy under the Inszone name.”
What This Win Really Means
This eighth Best of Utah award is more than a plaque on the wall; it’s a powerful example of what’s achievable when independent agencies find the right partner. Through a thoughtful and respectful transition, the Orem team has proven that legacy and progress can—and should—go hand in hand.
