Scottsdale, AZ, <strong>July</strong> <strong>21</strong>, <strong>2011</strong> – <strong>Benefit</strong> <strong>Commerce</strong> Group, an innovative employee benefits firm, has<br />
announced that <strong>David</strong> <strong>Spellicy</strong> and <strong>Tom</strong> <strong>Sweeney</strong> have joined the company.<br />
<strong>Benefit</strong> <strong>Commerce</strong> provides employee benefits brokerage services and support. It also emphasizes<br />
innovative long-term strategies for employer groups, to focus on consumer-directed plans and wellness<br />
programs that lower health care costs, better meet employee needs and enhance productivity.<br />
“The fact that these two presidents of successful independent agencies have chosen to join us speaks<br />
volumes about the value proposition of the <strong>Benefit</strong> <strong>Commerce</strong> organization,” said Chris Hogan, President<br />
of <strong>Benefit</strong> <strong>Commerce</strong>. “<strong>David</strong> and <strong>Tom</strong> are prominent industry professionals with over 35 years of<br />
combined experience. We are enthused about enhancing our company with their expertise and stature.”<br />
“<strong>David</strong>, <strong>Tom</strong> and their teams are well-known and have established excellent reputations for service in the<br />
Arizona market area. In addition, <strong>Tom</strong> has a strong base of experience in Mesa and the East Valley,”<br />
said Johnny Angelone, Principal of <strong>Benefit</strong> <strong>Commerce</strong>. “We are pleased that they are joining <strong>Benefit</strong><br />
<strong>Commerce</strong>, as we continue to expand our profile and reach.”<br />
“This is really a win-win situation for new business and strategy development,” Scott M. Wood, Principal<br />
of <strong>Benefit</strong> <strong>Commerce</strong>, said. “Our clients are well-supported, and they will benefit from the services and<br />
insights to be provided from our combined operations.”<br />
<strong>Spellicy</strong>, who has been an insurance broker in the Phoenix area since 1997, created The <strong>Spellicy</strong> Group<br />
in 2007. He has consistently added new clients and services to his organization.
“This is an exceptional opportunity to expand, offer and deliver enhanced services and additional<br />
solutions to our existing clients and new employer group clients,” <strong>Spellicy</strong> said. “The approach and<br />
strategy of The <strong>Spellicy</strong> Group have centered on the same themes as <strong>Benefit</strong> <strong>Commerce</strong> Group: detailed<br />
evaluation of employer and employee needs, innovative HR and benefits technology, custom design of<br />
plans to meet those needs and implementation and ongoing service to assure their success. I look<br />
forward to continuing to serve our current clients and to developing relationships with additional<br />
employers in the area.”<br />
<strong>Sweeney</strong> has been President of the Pit VII Agency in Mesa for the last 18 years. His experience,<br />
customer focus, enthusiasm and work ethic are a strong fit for the <strong>Benefit</strong> <strong>Commerce</strong> organization.<br />
“In our rapidly changing industry, many employer groups are being underserved by traditional benefit<br />
brokers who have not updated their capabilities. The strength of <strong>Benefit</strong> <strong>Commerce</strong> is its ability to provide<br />
additional services, support and long-term strategies,” <strong>Sweeney</strong> said. “That’s why I have joined forces<br />
with <strong>Benefit</strong> <strong>Commerce</strong>, to continue to bring professional business analysis to this market. With the<br />
technology and service enhancements we can offer, we are more than just a broker for our clients; we are<br />
a partner in helping our clients improve their bottom lines while enhancing the health of their employees.”<br />
