Before long Bill hired new employees

including Faye Pender to handle the administrative end of the business.   Right away, Bill recognized Faye’s intuitive business skills and recommended she become a licensed agent.  It didn’t take Faye long to build a reputable book of business herself.

The Pender team determined

together they would grow their business by providing better service than the competition.
Onward to the '80s

The agency continued to grow and thrive.

The Pender’s children were involved in local sports and school activities.  Bill coached little league and Faye was room mom and team mom.  The more the Penders became involved in the community, the faster their business grew.

Fastforward to the '90s

A New Branch in History

Bill and Faye’s children had finished college and the agency opened a Macon Division operated by Jennifer Pender.

The New Division Thrives

Jennifer’s middle Georgia business thrived due to her expertise and training from the pros, Bill and Faye.  She still enjoys a relationship with most of the same groups today.

In spite of bad luck, the agency continued to grow.

Sadly, Bill was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in the early 90’s but continued to work at the agency for several years.
Zoom into the '00s

By the turn of the century,

Bill Pender was forced into early retirement due to PD.  He made an offer for Sean and Jennifer to move back to Atlanta and service his book of business.  Sean was a perfect fit for Pender & Associates due to his education (UGA BBA 1990) and health field business experience.

The business grew and updated its technology

in spite of the country’s 2008 economic downturn.
Step into the '10s

Obamacare turned the health and insurance markets upside down causing the economy to falter once again.

Today, Pender & Associates continues to thrive under the management leadership of Sean and Jennifer Pender.  They are dedicated to providing excellent service by focusing their energy on consultation and partnership with business owners that need a professional benefit advisor.
Lightspeed to the future!
