Conway Reorganizes to Industry and Specialty Practice Teams
I am very pleased to announce the restructuring of our company into Industry and Specialty Practice Teams distributed through regional branch offices. Our Pittsburgh office services Western Pennsylvania and Western New York along with 6 other states in the Midwest. Our York,PA office services Eastern Pennsylvania and Eastern New York along with 6 other states in the Northeast, and our San Diego, CA office services California.
Conway Midwest has now fully transitioned into Industry and Specialty Practice Teams as outlined below. An assigned Client Manager will be reaching out to each of our retail agency clients over the next month. Our website is being updated and we are working on a new private client area that will provide specialized tools and knowledge to our limited retail client base.
I believe this change will strengthen our commitment to bringing the Knowledge, Experience and Response required in being one of the best independent Wholesale Brokerage firms in the USA. If you have any questions please contact one of the team leaders, Ernie Deutsch or myself.

2011 Year End Message from the President
It has been a good, but challenging year for Conway E&S, Inc. We met our goals in 2011 but it took a lot of diligence, hard work, and strong client and carrier relationships to do so. The market is “hardening” on very specific coverage and industries just as we suspected and clients and insured’s are accepting slight 5-10% increases on renewals. Insured’s in tougher classes and with poor performance are accepting larger increases as there are fewer and fewer carriers willing to buy market-share. We expect this to be the continued trend in 2012 as there is still plenty of capacity in the market.
We are looking to grow in 2012 by continuing to strengthen our current relationships and product offerings. We are also carefully expanding our client base in new geographic territories through the expansion of our branch offices in York,Pa (Conway Northeast) and San Diego,CA (Conway West).
A wholesale broker, by definition, exists to co-represent insured’s at the direction and leadership of their retail insurance broker. When we help our retail broker succeed, we succeed. Thank you for partnering with us to meet the needs of your clients. It is an honor and a privilege to work with you and we look forward to a great 2012!

Conway West Making a Difference
One thing that has been part of the Conway E&S DNA from day one is the belief in supporting the local community. We have found that doing so fosters a winning environment for all involved. In the insurance world, through organizations like the IBA, we are able to not only support great businesses, but also other organizations such as those who do charitable work. This is something Conway will always be proud to be a part of, and if it has to happen on a golf course…well you certainly won’t have to twist our arms! (more…)
