"These acquisitions represent a truly extraordinary opportunity for our firm as they bring to us a unique combination of strategic resources, client deliverables, senior leadership and technical expertise not to mention tremendous growth potential," said Andrew Forchelli, partner and chief operating officer for GNW-Evergreen. "Today is a great day for the employees and clients of GNW-Evergreen as this deal clearly reinforces our position as the preeminent, independently owned insurance agency in Southern California." GNW-Evergreen is acquiring the total assets and resources of Plenary Insurance Services, including its offices in Orange County and San Diego, and its complete client portfolio. Additionally, the renewal rights acquisition gives GNW-Evergreen access to more than 300 existing EDIC clients as well as a significant amount of marketplace and intellectual capital. GNW-Evergreen will be making its proprietary risk assessment and mitigation process available to all EDIC policy holders. Noting that several of EDIC's former producers and customer service staff have recently joined GNW-Evergreen, James E. Little, President and CEO Employers Direct Insurance Company pointed out, "We believe that service to EDIC policyholders at GNW-Evergreen will not only be continued seamlessly, but will be greatly enhanced by its highly regarded risk management and full account servicing and market placement capabilities. We could not be more pleased with this partnership." With the addition of Plenary, both GNW-Evergreen's existing clients as well as EDIC's policy holders will have access to a distinctive combination of services that align employee benefits and workers' compensation objectives to help employers control costs and increase the health and productivity of their workforce. "Healthcare is at the top of our nation's agenda and at the forefront of every employer's mind. At GNW-Evergreen, we are committed to delivering the services and expertise required by employers to maximize their investment and improve employees' health, wellness and productivity," added Forchelli.
