Cherry Hill, NJ – Tony McIntyre, CEO and President of The McIntyre Group released a statement today announcing his firm’s strong performance for the fiscal year ending, December 31, 2004. In a prepared text, Mr. McIntyre stated that the insurance brokerage, based in Cherry Hill had “increased their revenue base by 100% for the year 2004 versus 2003. Although we are privately held and do not publicly release our financials, we believe our 2004 growth was driven by upgrading our six-step risk analysis process, hiring quality people and reinvesting in technology. For 2005, we are maintaining our focus on large complex risks that need our unique risk management services.”
Samplings of new accounts acquired by The McIntyre Group in 2004 include:
