New &NOTEWORTHY NEW LOCATION:
GCH Insurance relocated to Winchester Road GCH INSURANCE GROUP is the largest locally-owned independent insurance agency in Central Kentucky. The owners are Russell Griffith, John Hampton, David Henry, Jim McCarty and Shelley Gaffney. They have recently moved into their new building located at 780 Winchester Road, the former site of Auto Tech Service. Conference rooms, offices and cubicles have replaced the multi-car garage space that housed lifts and oil pits. There are new energy efficient windows that are blurred from the outside to preserve privacy. A sliding barn door conceals the building’s mechanical systems. Tasteful equine art is hung on the walls. They market personal, commercial property and casualty, farm and equine, life and group health insurance products. Their emphasis is: “Quality Advice, Quality Benefits, Competitive Rates”.
