Tapco Underwriters Inc. (TAPCO), a Burlington, N.C.-based MGA specializing in high-volume, transaction-based excess and surplus insurance lines, is opening an underwriting service center in Dallas, Texas.
Tapco veteran Ellen McBride will manage the Dallas office. McBride has more than 25 years of experience in the industry and has been with Tapco as a senior commercial underwriter since 1996. She has earned the CPCU, AU and ASLI professional designations.
Tapco joined the CRC/Southern Cross family in late 2008 and will share the office space with them.
As part of its national growth plan started in 2007, Tapco now has offices in California, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Texas, covering a 19-state territory that includes Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Delaware, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington state and Washington D.C.
Underwriters in the new Dallas service center will have the same ability as all Tapco offices to electronically generate, deliver and archive quotes, binders, policies and endorsements, as well as bind coverage in a phone call.
