EPIC Insurance, California’s Fastest Growing Insurance Broker, Moves into Larger Fresno Offices to Meet Growing Local Demand [California Newswire]

Simmons, Christopher
By Simmons, Christopher
Proquest LLC

FRESNO, Calif. /California Newswire/ -- First opening the doors of a Fresno office in July of 2012, California's fastest growing insurance brokerage is already expanding to meet local demand. Edgewood Partners Insurance Center (EPIC), a retail property, casualty and employee benefits insurance brokerage that started with just two principals, has since added four more brokers specializing in property and casualty and employee benefits, as well as claims advocacy, account management and client service positions.

Connect with the EPIC team on Facebook and LinkedIn (info below).

Central Valley insurance industry veteran, Patrick McCaleb, a senior principal of the firm, leads EPIC's Fresno team. He is responsible for all aspects of EPIC's growing operations in the region, including strategic planning and management, new business development, strategic marketing and vendor relationships, and overall client satisfaction.

"I am very excited about building a responsive, entrepreneurial, 'no walls' organization that is all about delivering service excellence and value," states McCaleb. "The response of the Central Valley business community to EPIC and what we are creating locally has been nothing short of phenomenal."

The new office space, located at 8050 North Palm Avenue, Suite 110, will house all of EPIC's current Fresno team members as well as new team members to be added in the future.

"EPIC's rapid growth and success in Fresno and elsewhere demonstrates that businesses and insurance professionals alike are looking for something new, different and better in the insurance brokerage business," shares Dan Francis, EPIC co-founder and chief executive officer. "EPIC's values, approach and offerings are very much beyond the ordinary. We are delighted to be driving this change for our Central Valley clients."
