Burns & Wilcox Responds to Double Digit Growth in Pennsylvania with Office Expansion and Plans for Hiring

PITTSBURGH (June 29, 2017) – Burns & Wilcox, North America’s leading wholesale insurance broker and underwriting manager, announced today an increase of its footprint in Pennsylvania with an office move and expansion for its Pittsburgh office to accommodate its growing team and revenue. Burns & Wilcox has relocated its Pittsburgh employee base to the third floor of The Bentley, a new, state-of-the-art, 100 percent sustainable solar-powered office high-rise in the city’s Greentree district. Pittsburgh Business Times recently rated The Bentley as one of the city’s Coolest Offices.

“As Burns & Wilcox continues to grow, it is important to frequently reinvest in the offices and people that are a vital part of this success,” said Alan Jay Kaufman, Chairman, President, and CEO, H.W. Kaufman Financial Group and Burns & Wilcox. “With 25 years in the Pittsburgh area, the company continues to show its strength, tenacity, and expertise of specialty insurance within Pennsylvania.”

The Burns & Wilcox Pittsburgh office plans to continue hiring at a high pace. The Pittsburgh office specializes in insurance for large manufacturers and contractors, Professional Liability including Medical Malpractice and Errors & Omissions (E&O), and Personal insurance including High-Value Homeowners. Personal insurance revenue in this location has increased by double digits this year. The recruiting efforts and strategic direction of the office are currently headed by Daniel J. Kaufman, Senior Vice President, Burns & Wilcox, and Linda M. Bobro, Vice President and Managing Director.

“The new Pittsburgh location provides an open and inviting concept, ideal for millennial talent recruitment – as the best new insurance professionals want to be in places with walkable amenities, sustainability, and stunning views,” said Daniel J. Kaufman. “To further progress this office, we will continue to invest in developing enthusiastic individuals with an entrepreneurial mindset.”

The new office is located at 965 Greentree Road, Suite 300, Pittsburgh, PA 15220.  Kaufman Real Estate Management, the global real estate arm for Kaufman Family Companies, executed the lease and handled the internal construction of the office space.
