Brownyard Adds Workers’ Comp to Security Guard and Pest Control
Programs in California

Bay Shore, N.Y.—July 23, 2008— The Brownyard Group (www.brownyard.com), a Program Administrator providing specialized insurance coverage for select industry groups, announced today that it is offering Workers’ Compensation Coverage in California for its Security Guard and Pest Control Programs.

Coverage for both programs is written through Arch Insurance Company, rated “A” (Excellent) by A.M. Best, and can be written unsupported or as part of a package.

 “We’re pleased to offer Workers’ Compensation Coverage in California, providing pest control operators and security firms with the option of taking our complete coverage package or just Workers’ Compensation as a stand-alone coverage,” said Torrence Brownyard, president of the Brownyard Group.

Brownyard Group, whose security guard program is called Brownguard, pioneered the development of Liability Coverage specifically for the security guard and private investigator industries and today is the industry’s largest program administrator. Coverage includes Professional Liability, Excess and Umbrella Liability, Workers’ Compensation, First and Third Party Dishonesty, and Auto and Property, as well as the industry’s only admitted market for General Liability.

The Pest Control Program, called PCOpro, is designed to meet the complex coverage needs for today’s pest control operators (PCO). In addition to standard coverage such as General and Professional Liability, PCOpro also includes components such as sudden and accidental pollution, Automobile Pollution, Transit coverage and Workers’ Compensation.
