Florida has a new wholesale insurance broker specializing in marine industry risks.
Founded by Steve Cunningham, Theresa Proios-Jewell and other associates with marine insurance experience, Legacy Underwriters is based out of St. Petersburg.
Cunningham most recently was with Wallace, Welch & Willingham. His previous positions were at Chubb & Son and as the founder of Tampa Bay Underwriters Inc.
Proios-Jewell began her insurance career at a small agency 22 years ago. She has held several marine-related positions in her tenures at Hull & Co. Inc. and Wallace, Welch & Willingham.
“Insuring large vessels and marinas requires creativity and connections. Our experience and relationships allow us to get vessels and properties covered that some companies may turn away because of the complexity of the coverage,” said Cunningham.
