XL Group Adds Insurance Resources in Dallas

DALLAS, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ – To keep pace with  regional business growth, XL Group is adding more insurance resources to its Dallas office with the addition of global risk management, construction primary casualty and inland marine underwriting expertise. 

According to Wayne Speeg, Regional Leader for XL Group's South Central region, "The Texas economy continues to expand with job growth across a wide range of industries.  This growth means that more companies have more assets –property, employees, and sales -- that require appropriate insurance protection and more risk management attention.  To help, we continue to build out a seasoned regional underwriting team that gives our brokers and clients throughout the Southwest easy and personal access to some of the best underwriting talent in our industry."
