Morristown, N.J.-based PGI Commercial (PGIC), the U.S. program manager of Bermuda-based insurance distributor Primary Group Limited, has added an underwriting team and opened a branch office in Troy, Mich. The unit will specialize in providing Liquor Liability and BOP coverage for hospitality risks.

Susan Fowler and Elizabeth Hurcomb, of Fowler & Associates, have agreed to join PGIC effective Feb. 1, 2007. They will bring their staff and existing facility which is approved to write restaurants, bars, taverns and retail stores in Michigan.

“We are excited to have Susan, Libby and their staff joining our organization,” said Richard Trezza, president of PGI Commercial. “The addition of this unit continues our strategy of growing the business through the addition of specialty programs and niche product segments.”
