FCCI has hired Phil Shepard to lead the surety line of business expansion into New England. He has more than 30 years of experience in the financial industry, including extensive experience in contract and commercial surety for the past 15 years. Phil Shepard is based in Keene, New Hampshire.

“Phil brings the perfect balance of strong underwriting, marketing and service skills to our FCCI team. Phil and I started our careers in New England and worked together before. We look forward to getting back to familiar territory and building FCCI’s Surety business,” said Scott Paice, Senior Vice President of Surety. “We are excited about the opportunity and the FCCI value proposition of being a relationship-based partner that delivers on its promises. We pride ourselves on helping agents earn and retain business through local knowledge and decision-making, proactive risk management, efficient claim resolution and exceptional customer service.”

The company also announced its Surety Business expansion in New England

Super-regional commercial insurance carrier FCCI Insurance Group is now writing contract and commercial surety bonds in the six New England states – Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont. FCCI is rated “A” (Excellent) by A.M. Best with a U.S. Treasury listing exceeding $75 million.

Besides New England, FCCI Surety also expanded this year into the central and western regions of the country. “Our surety footprint began the year in 20 states and now covers 44 states. With the addition of Minnesota and Washington coming soon, surety will be offered in 46 states by the end of 2023. It’s an exciting time to be part of our growing surety operation as we expand our presence and build upon our success over the past twelve years,” said Paice.
