Westfield Insurance is expanding its commercial operations into Colorado this year. As part of the expansion plans, a new service office will open in Denver. The existing surety office, which is located in Denver, will be consolidated with this new service office.

Middle Market Field Managers, Dan Sierra and Shawn Leonard and Claims Manager, Don Rivkin are currently on the ground in Colorado assisting with all necessary preparations to start writing business in Colorado. A risk control specialist and underwriting assistant will be ready to support business later in 2009.

Westfield has recently appointed five agencies and plans to appoint five more by August. Agents representing Westfield are carefully selected for their professionalism, knowledge, integrity, and commitment to their important role as a partner with Westfield and Westfield policyholders.

"We decided to expand operations to Colorado because of the significant opportunity to diversify and grow in businesses, markets and products that optimize profit," said Westfield’s Commercial Lines Executive Bart Rahe. "Adding Colorado to Westfield's operations further diversifies our book of business by spreading risk across our geographical footprint."
