MacNeill Group Selected to Grow Commercial Property and Casualty Business

SUNRISE, FL--(Marketwired - Feb 26, 2015) - MacNeill Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Team Focus Insurance Group (Team Focus), and a licensed managing general agent (MGA) specializing in commercial, personal, transportation and flood lines of property and casualty (P&C) insurance, is pleased to announce the company recently expanded an existing agreement with Nautilus Insurance Company (Nautilus) to grow new business in P&C commercial lines.

Nautilus, a W. R. Berkley Company, specializes in providing excess and surplus (E&S) lines commercial P&C insurance coverages. Formed in 1985, Nautilus is licensed as an eligible surplus lines insurer in all 50 states except Arizona, where the company is domiciled and where the company serves policyholders as a fully-licensed, admitted insurer. In 2013, in an effort to continue to provide quality products and services to a growing customer base, Nautilus sought additional business development and insurance processing services from MacNeill Group for its personal umbrella business.

In 2014, MacNeill Group became the largest writer of personal umbrella business for Nautilus nationwide. This success recently led to an expansion of the agreement to include other lines of business in which the company hopes to promote significant growth. Through MacNeill Group, Nautilus is able to garner additional market access to hard-to-place business and specialty lines opportunities. 

"MacNeill Group exemplifies the high-quality customer service standards that we look for in a distribution partner," said Tom Kuzma, president and CEO of Nautilus Insurance Group. "With the successful rollout of our personal umbrella product last year, we are confident in the agency's ability to promote and profitably grow our commercial lines book of business as well."

MacNeill Group was a good fit for Nautilus, as the company works exclusively with top-rated P&C insurance companies specializing in commercial, personal, transportation and flood lines, and provides independent agents throughout the Southeast with market capacity and exceptional service. Going forward, MacNeill Group's appointed agents will actively seek new business opportunities for Nautilus across all P&C lines of business.

"We are pleased Nautilus chose MacNeill Group to solicit and write not only personal umbrella, but now other lines of commercial insurance business," said Kevin Tromer, president of Team Focus. "We hope to help Nautilus continue to grow and provide exceptional service for many years to come."
