Caliber One Opens New California Office
Caliber One, the Excess and Surplus Lines arm of PMA Capital, has opened a new office in Glendale, Calif. Tom Ross, assistant vice president in charge of Caliber’s Seattle, Washington office, has relocated to Southern California to lead this effort.
Mike Flaherty, Vice President and Senior Casualty Officer at Caliber, commented that the office permits the company to enhance relationships with its appointed surplus lines brokers, and provides Caliber One with a presence in the major West Coast insurance marketing center. The company will still remain close to its Northwest customers, as its Seattle operation will carry on serving clients in Washington, Oregon, Northern California, Arizona, Nevada and Colorado.
Initially, the Glendale office will serve a limited number of Caliber One’s Southern California brokers. As staff levels increase, Caliber One will migrate the servicing of additional Southern California brokers from the Seattle office to the Glendale office.
