3 Birmingham Brokers Join EPIC in Alabama As Agency Principals

November 11, 2014

EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants, a retail property/casualty insurance brokerage and employee benefits consultant, announced that Crawford McInnis, Brian Tanner and Wilson Long have joined the firm as principals in Birmingham, Ala.

McInnis, Tanner and Long all join EPIC from another Birmingham broker — Cobbs Allen— where they were risk management advisors, property/ casualty insurance producers and principals. Each has specialized in serving large, complex construction, energy and distribution risks across the country over careers spanning from 10 to 20 years.

“The addition of Crawford, Brian and Wilson is an exciting way to expand EPIC’s presence in the southeast, as well as strengthening our service and support to a number of key industries we serve nationally,” said EPIC co-founder and CEO John Hahn.

Since The Carlyle Group became the firm’s major investment partner in December 2013, EPIC has completed eight strategic acquisitions, adding more than 300 employees in 14 new locations across the United States.

Derek Thomas, EPIC’s chief strategy officer, said the new EPIC Birmingham team strengthens EPIC’s national platform serving contractors, energy companies and oil and gas distribution contractors.
