NEW YORK (January 10, 2002) – The year 2002 is off to a promising start
for Avon, CT-based insurance consulting firm Dill, Joyce & Thresher, Inc.
(DJT), whose President Paul Mikkelson proudly announces the merger of
DJT and Wertheim-Eilers, Inc. (W-E).
The merger, which became effective January 1st, further solidifies DJT’s
position as one of the area’s leading personal and commercial insurance
consulting firms, specializing in employee benefits and property and casualty
insurance solutions.
With the growing demand for client servicing, this merger arms DJT with
the additional professional support and resources needed to remain at
the leading edge of the retail insurance industry, says Mikkelson
The merged firm, which continues operating as Dill, Joyce & Thresher,
Inc., offers clients a wider breadth of product offerings and expertise
in both benefits and property and casualty insurance solutions.
We view the merger as a means of providing further depth and back-up for
our clients, stated CEO Roger Joyce. Our clients will now have access
to enhanced health and disability services.

insurance for many years,” says Eilers. “With this merger comes the opportunity
to offer property and casualty insurance services to our clients.
