Nationwide Risk Consulting Announces Launch of Specialty Markets Plus An Insurance Specialty Wholesaler

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Edward J. Kelly, Jr., President of Nationwide Risk Consulting, Inc. announced the formation of a new specialty insurance national wholesale company called Specialty Markets Plus, and marketing relationship with Alliant Insurance Services for access to insurance markets and support services. This new company will combine capabilities of Nationwide Risk’s vast national network of “Broker Partners” with the insurance marketing and support capabilities of Alliant, one of the top 15 US insurance brokers.

This newly formed company will provide middle market brokers an opportunity to expand their services with carriers, MGA’s and MGU’s on specialty line products. Regional insurance brokers across the country will now be able to offer a viable option to their clients on such specialty line products for Universities, Parochial Schools, Public Schools, Charter Schools, Private Schools and Public Entities. Examples of other specialty segments include Medical Malpractice programs for physician practices, Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Facilities and Hospitals; a program for Liquor Liability and other coverage for Restaurants, Bars and Taverns. Parking Garage programs, as well as other programs for customers with complex insurance needs, are also available.

According to Edward J. Kelly, Jr., “Specialty Markets Plus will provide Nationwide Risk’s ‘Working Partners’ brokers who are looking to expand their business a better solution through the expertise, knowledge and competitive pricing structure of Alliant Insurance Services.”

“I have been an advocate of specialty products and specialty underwriting dating back to my days at Providence/Washington in the early 1990’s,” stated David Patterson, Vice President of Alliant Insurance Services. “Providing the local broker with the training and support they need to properly market these specialty products, and access to key specialty insurers, is a win-win situation for both the client and the broker – every time.” Patterson added.

Nationwide Risk Consulting, Inc. markets premium recovery and other cost-containment services to companies across the nation resulting in the retrieval of substantial dollars in overpayments made to insurance carriers and employee leasing companies (PEO).

Alliant Insurance Services is ranked among the 15 largest insurance brokerage firms in the United States. With a history dating back to 1925, Alliant Insurance Services is the nation’s leading distributor of specialty insurance products and services.

For more information on Specialty Markets Plus or Nationwide Risk Consulting, Inc. contact Edward J. Kelly, Jr. at [email protected]. For more information on Alliant Insurance Services, Inc. contact David Patterson at [email protected].
