PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Troy Heald, CIC, Northern Aroostook district manager, will now oversee the Presque Isle branch operations of the F. A. Peabody Company upon the retirement of longtime senior agent and branch manager, Thomas Clowes.
Clowes has been with the company for over 25 years and worked in the insurance industry over 40 years in various capacities. He led the Presque Isle branch office of the company since 1998, overseeing a staff of seven.
“Tom was a student of the insurance industry, technically strong and full of enthusiasm. He was a great mentor to his direct staff and others within the company and throughout the industry. We will miss his involvement and contributions,” said Christopher Anderson, president of F.A. Peabody Company.

The Presque Isle branch office will join the Northern Aroostook District, which includes the Caribou and Madawaska branch offices and NorState Insurance Services, a credit union insurance service organization managed by FAPCO. Heald will oversee all four operations and relocate to the Presque Isle office. He is a Certified Insurance Counselor and has been a part of the northern Maine insurance community for over 25 years and with F.A. Peabody for 20 of those years in both sales and service.
“Troy’s organizational and agency management skills will prove beneficial to the clients and employees of these agency operations,” said Anderson.
Troy resides in Caribou with his wife, Marcy, and is father to Hannah and Martin.
