About FCCI

FCCI Insurance Group was founded in 1959 when a group of Florida-based construction executives had to come up with an affordable option for coverage in a challenging Worker’s Compensation environment. Since then, FCCI has expanded into 19 states, continues to expand to new territories, and offers a full range of insurance products and surety bonding for the construction industry and many other business segments.  FCCI boasts an A.M. Best rating of “A Excellent” with a “Stable” outlook.  At the helm of the company is Maryland native Craig Johnson, President/CEO and Chairman of the Board.  At present, all but one Board Member on FCCI’s Corporate Board of Directors is, or at one time was, the owner or executive of a construction company.

Responsible for the design and implementation of the new MCN program within FCCI Insurance is Senior Vice President and Mid-Atlantic/Southeast Regional Vice President Courtney Hart. Commenting on the new partnership with MCN and Consolidated, Mr. Hart states, “The allegiance between MCN, Consolidated Insurance and FCCI helps us achieve one of our primary goals for the Mid-Atlantic Region, which is to increase brand awareness while simultaneously helping a rapidly growing and important industry association within the state of Maryland.”

About Consolidated

Consolidated Insurance + Risk Management, started in 1969 with roots dating back to the 1930s, is a full-service independent insurance agency in Owings Mills. When it became clear that the traditional approach to insurance was broken, Consolidated flipped the script.  Through tailored assessments, their SWT®  process, and a passion for promoting their clients’ brands in the insurance marketplace, Consolidated has become an industry leader serving the Greater Mid-Atlantic region.  As a top-tier agent of FCCI Insurance Group, Consolidated was tapped as the program ambassador after 18 months of extensive planning and research.  Consolidated’s partnership with MCN comes with a proven track record of construction industry knowledge and commitment to Maryland’s construction community.

Dan Workmeister, Vice President at Consolidated, had this to say of the partnership, “Maryland Construction Network and FCCI are the perfect fit. If you follow their stories, it is clear to see.  We have an insurance carrier conceived by a group of local business owners, mostly contractors, to provide organizations with affordable insurance programs to meet their needs.  We have an industry association founded by individuals steeped in the local construction community and committed to working with contractors to overcome their challenges.  By working together, MCN and FCCI will be a real asset to the contracting community by helping contractors in this region to reach their objectives.”
