Risk & Business Magazine CMW Insurance Fall 2015 | Page 7

Successful contractors surround themselves with a skilled team of professional advisers. The experienced construction insurance and bonding broker, as a key part of this team, is uniquely positioned to help the contractor identify and respond to the many risks that can threaten the viability of a construction company. While construction insurance and bonding is in part about issuing insurance polices, bonds and supporting paper work, the contractor should consider this to be a base level of service from their broker. What is truly valuable is the broker’s ability to identify and proactively respond to risks quickly so that threatening situations can be addressed, controlled, transferred to others or avoided. Every successful contractor knows this. Steve McConnell is a Client Executive, Vice President at CMW specializing in construction and bonding insurance. Steve brings extensive expertise in this field with his previous experience at a leading national bonding company and a large international insurance brokerage. He is former chair of the Surety Association of BC and has been actively involved in the BC Road Builders, the Public Construction Council and the Vancouver Regional Construction Association.
