Wright National Flood Insurance Services President Patricia Templeton-Jones said she is excited about the new partnership with UPC Insurance agents.

“United Property and Casualty Company has been around since 1999 for its policyholders and agent partners,” Templeton-Jones said. “We are excited to carry on that long history and provide our experience in the flood insurance industry to create a smooth transition during this process.”

“Wright Flood has long been a premier provider of NFIP flood coverage and private flood insurance options for both homeowners and businesses,” she added. “That dates back to 1983 when it was one of the first Write Your Own (“WYO”) participants in the National Flood Insurance Program. We have been diligent in staying current on all of the updates with Risk Rating 2.0 and look forward to providing those insights with our new agent partners and policyholders.”

“We are pleased to have reached an agreement with Wright for the sale of UPC Insurance’s NFIP flood book of business,” said UPC Insurance’s Chief Information and Chief Operating Officer Chris Griffith. “Wright’s excellent reputation in the flood space and specialized knowledge of the NFIP Write Your Own program will serve the dynamic needs of UPC Insurance’s NFIP policyholders and agents.”
