Still Going

The pushpin map of the United States at FCCI Insurance Group is getting crowded.

One of the largest commercial property and casualty insurance underwriters on the Gulf Coast, the company, based in Sarasota, has been in national expansion mode for several years. But it recently amped up its growth strategy, both in locations and products. The goal, say company executives, is to use what it considers its best asset — relationship-centric employees — to pluck more market share.

“We are constantly looking for organic growth,” says Bill Speaker, senior vice president for home office underwriting at FCCI. “We didn't stop expanding when the economy went south.”
