“Even with our new name, you’ll still be served by the same leadership, same people and same regional service,” said Bill Dalton, Sunstar Insurance Services President and former President of Renasant Insurance. “We’ve served this community for more than 25 years, and we are here to help protect what matters most so our customers can prosper in life and business. We believe now, more than ever, we are positioned to help our customers achieve great success.”
