NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mariners General Insurance Group, a highly respected company in operation for more than 50 years, has recently expanded into Northern California and is anticipating further expansion later this year, according to Founder and President Byron Chamberlain.
The Newport Beach-based company, well-established in the Southern California boating community, serves clients from its longstanding Newport Beach location and its second California office in San Diego. Northern California boaters always have been part of Mariners’ client mix, but the San Francisco Bay marine community now will enjoy enhanced personal attention with the addition of Carolyn Pounds, based in Alameda with more than 20 years experience in marine insurance. Mariners General Insurance Group continues to have a strong presence in Florida, serving customers from Bradenton, and in the Pacific Northwest.
“We have been in business for 50 plus years and seen ebbs and flows in our industry, mostly based on the overall economy. I’m pleased that 2014 looks to be a strong year in our industry and our entire team, from west coast to east coast, looks forward to serving our customers as they insure their valuable vessels,” said Chamberlain.
“We have added six new employees recently and are planning for growth, partly organic and partly from acquiring companies with strong books of business in our existing areas as well as regions we are not yet serving. Annapolis, MD, Washington state and Florida, are potential targets,” Chamberlain continued.
