Originally known as The Downey Brothers Market, and drawing on the talents of my grandfather Bill Downey, Sr., who partnered with Metropolitan Insurance Company; through the generations, my father, Bill Downey, Jr., continued the legacy that became known as Downey Insurance Group. I have worked over the last 30 years methodically and strategically to create the Downey Family of Companies as it stands today.
