PR Web

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (PRWEB) November 28, 2018

Pinnacle Surety of Costa Mesa, California, has been named the 2017 Surety Agency of the Year by UFG Insurance. The agency also has a branch office in Boise, Idaho.

Founded in 1994 by President Eric Lowey, Pinnacle Surety is a professional surety bond agency committed to long term successful relationships with both clients and its surety companies. Lowey and Vice President and Principal Mark Richardson, accepted the award earlier this year during a UFG-sponsored trip. The company has been associated with UFG since 2014.

The Surety Agency of the Year is selected through a number of measurable benchmarks, including loss ratio, written premium, growth and new business.

"We have the great pleasure of working with many premier surety agents across the country, making it a challenge to select just one for our Surety Agency of the Year," said Vice President and Director of Surety Dennis Richmann. "Pinnacle Surety's rapid growth and continued success reflects their dedication to customer service and the surety industry. It is an honor to have them as one of our partner agencies."

In addition to being the 2017 Agency of the Year, Pinnacle Surety also joined UFG's Crystal Blue Award group for 2017. The award is given to UFG's largest agencies based on written premium for the year.

Headquartered in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, UFG has been in the surety bonds industry since 1952 and is represented by independent agents throughout the country in 46 states, plus the District of Columbia. For more information, visit http://www.ufginsurance.com.
