McInnis, Tanner and Long all join EPIC from another Birmingham broker where they were risk management advisors, property & casualty insurance producers and principals. Each has specialized in serving large, complex construction, energy and distribution risks across the country over careers spanning from 10 to 20 years.
"The addition of Crawford, Brian and Wilson is an exciting way to expand EPIC's presence in the southeast, as well as strengthening our service and support to a number of key industries we serve nationally," said EPIC co-founder and CEO John Hahn.
Since The Carlyle Group became the firm's major investment partner in December 2013, EPIC has completed eight strategic acquisitions/purchases, adding more than 300 employees in 14 new locations across the United States.
Said Derek Thomas, EPIC's Chief Strategy Officer, "The new EPIC Birmingham team strengthens EPIC's national platform serving contractors, energy companies and oil and gas distribution contractors. In turn, their clients will benefit significantly from the capabilities and resources of our Specialty Practice and Program Group and the entire EPIC organization."
Added Crawford McInnis, "As part of EPIC, we now have access to experienced industry leaders and top professionals in multiple disciplines, along with broad resources, additional capital and extensive insurance company relationships - all to supplement our own ability, service and advocacy, for the benefit of our clients. We couldn't be more excited to be here."
