IEG Named Official Insurance Provider of Blue Collar Connect
Partnership Strengthens IEG’s Presence in the Trades Sector, Bringing Proactive Insurance Solutions to High-Performing Home Service Businesses
InsurEdge Group (IEG), a full-service commercial and personal insurance firm, has been named the Official Insurance Provider for Blue Collar Connect (BCC), an exclusive networking and mastermind community for high-performing trade and home service business owners. The sponsorship took effect May 1, 2025.
This strategic partnership reflects IEG’s commitment to expanding its reach within the home services sector, while continuing to provide tailored insurance solutions to businesses of all sizes across a wide range of industries.
“We’re honored to be chosen by Blue Collar Connect as their official insurance provider,” said Jeremy Barnes, Commercial Risk Advisor at IEG. “Having spent over a decade in the construction field, I’ve seen firsthand the risks these business owners face. IEG brings a proactive, boots-on-the-ground approach to insurance—one that helps protect not just tools and property, but the long-term success of hardworking companies like the ones in BCC.”
BCC is known for its highly vetted membership, with just one seat per industry in each peer group. Through monthly closed-door sessions and regular networking events, BCC fosters connection, accountability, and growth among leaders in fields like HVAC, plumbing, roofing, landscaping, and general contracting.
InsurEdge Group’s selection as the official provider highlights their alignment with BCC’s values. As the group’s website puts it: “IEG specializes in insurance solutions for contractors, tradespeople, and blue-collar business owners. With deep industry knowledge and a proactive approach, they help protect what matters most—your team, your tools, and your bottom line.”
“Our members trust each other to bring only the best into the room,” said Joe Mikitish, Founder at Blue Collar Connect. “IEG stood out not just for their insurance expertise, but for their real-world experience and genuine understanding of our members’ businesses. This alliance adds meaningful value for our community.”
While InsurEdge Group serves clients in industries ranging from agriculture and manufacturing to hospitality and automotive service, the partnership with BCC underscores the firm’s growing role as a trusted advisor to blue collar businesses.
