FCCI Insurance Group, based in Sarasota, Fla., announced this week company plans to begin writing commercial insurance in Pennsylvania, starting Sept. 1.
Following expansion into Pennsylvania, the insurance carrier will have operations in 20 states and Washington, D.C.
FCCI’s Pennsylvania operations will be coordinated through the company’s Mid-Atlantic Region, which is headquartered in Richmond, Va. FCCI’s Maryland and Washington, D.C. operations also work through the Mid-Atlantic Region.
Sales and marketing efforts for Pennsylvania will be led by senior business development specialist Scott Hillegas and supported by an experienced group of insurance professionals under the direction of Courtney Hart. Hart, a Pennsylvania resident who has 37 years of experience in the insurance industry, is senior vice president for the Mid-Atlantic Region.
“With its vast number of diverse industries and dynamic agency professionals, Pennsylvania is a key state in our strategic growth and expansion plans,” Hart said. “This has been a much-anticipated move and we are excited to finally be here to serve our valued agents and businesses across the state.”
FCCI also has provided commercial and contract surety in Pennsylvania since 2015.
In addition to commercial insurance and contract surety, FCCI offers risk control services, medical management and fair claim handling. It operates in industries including manufacturing, real estate, construction, distributors, retail, and wholesale.
