Originally called Barrett & Davies, Davies & Associates operated first in North Plainfield. In 1980 it moved to the corner of Floral Avenue and Chandler Drive, and in 1983 to its current location. Davies & Associates operates as an independent insurance agent, meaning that it represents two or more companies. In fact, it represents around 15 independent insurance companies. Davies & Associates strongly suggests you carry your homeowner's and auto insurance with the same agent, in order to save time and money.
