Relation Insurance Looks to Expand Specialty Lines

The latest from the US market;

Relation Insurance Services (“Relation”) announced recently that Douglas Turk has joined the company’s leadership ranks as President, Specialty Lines. In this newly created position, Turk will oversee the expansion of Relation’s rapidly growing specialty business, which has been a strategic differentiator as the company cements its position as a leading full-service insurance broker.

Turk joins Relation with two decades of experience leading top insurance brokerages and consulting firms. Throughout his career, he has built a reputation for driving business growth across complex markets, developing highly tailored solutions for clients and building long-term relationships with carrier partners. Before joining Relation, Turk served as Chief Marketing Officer for a leading specialty insurance broker. Prior to that, he served as Chief Executive Officer of Albert G. Ruben, the premier risk management company serving Hollywood and the global entertainment industry, which Relation acquired earlier this year.

“Over the years, our team has developed a strong specialty business, providing clients with deep industry knowledge and solutions. By bringing Doug onto the team, we are making a deliberate investment in scaling our existing expertise, while simultaneously expanding into new markets that match the changing needs of our clients,” said Tim Hall, Chief Executive Officer. “Doug is a natural leader. He understands where our business is headed and possesses the unique capabilities that will be instrumental in reaching our growth goals.”

“Relation customers today benefit from an experienced team that delivers tremendous value across multiple industries and products. Our opportunity is to build on this successful foundation across other industry and product specialties,” shared Turk. “Relation’s core culture values its people and empowers them to work directly with clients and markets to utilize their expertise and deliver client value. The Specialty practice is composed of industry leading talent who value a collaborative team and platform where they can utilize their specialization and experience.”

Over the past few years, Relation has continued to expand its Specialty Lines division, providing industry expertise and solutions for middle-market companies, large enterprise businesses and the individuals they employ.
