Founded in 1986 on the Westside of Indianapolis, Battersby and Associates, rapidly set and maintained high standards for sales, service, professionalism, and integrity. From the beginning, stellar salesman and current CEO Bob Danielson assisted in the rapid growth of the agency.

Soon after its creation, it was necessary for the agency to expand its facility and was moved to Carmel. The agency continued to develop throughout the years and a promising young salesman and current Vice President, Joe Azbell, was added to the team in 1992.

As the new century approached, Mr. Battersby partnered with Mr. Danielson to purchase a parcel of land in a somewhat rural area of Central Indiana in the town of Westfield (then population 15,461). In 2000 the Westfield facility was completed. With this partnership, Bob became co-owner and his name was added to the business to become Battersby Danielson & Associates.

In 2003, Mike Michaud merged his business, Specialty Sales, with our agency and became a company principal at that time.

Mr. Battersby retired in December 31, 2006. Upon doing so, he sold the agency to Bob and Joe. At that time, Battersby Danielson Azbell was formed.
Sadly, Brian passed away in June of 2013. His legend and legacy will always live on in our company. 

In 2020, BDA moved into an innovative new space called Hub & Spoke located in the heart of Fishers, IN. This space is dedicated to businesses in the trade industry. Hub and Spoke has also partnered with the City of Fishers to provide hands-on experiential learning and an educational journey in which the community becomes the classroom.
