PHOENIX, Aug. 13, 2007 -- The membership base of the Distribution Contractors Association just grew by one.
Helmer Risk Management - a Phoenix-based provider of specialized insurance brokerage and risk management solutions for the energy and construction industries - recently joined DCA after establishing productive working relationships with various DCA members.
"We know how important it is for DCA members to work with a broker that not only understands their industry, but also what their clients expect in terms of coverage, limits and indemnity," said Scott A. Helmer, president and CEO of Helmer Risk Management.
"Basically, once we establish the proper insurance coverage and limits, DCA members need to know their broker is working to get them the most competitive rates - year after year," Helmer said. "Lowering insurance costs really affects a company's bottom line, and that's how we approach it from the start."
Helmer Risk represents clients across the country - many with operations around the globe - and is licensed to transact insurance business in all 50 states. The agency generally conducts comprehensive reviews of companies' operations to cut their insurance-related costs.
Helmer added that, as a "value-added service," the agency reviews and negotiates changes to owner contracts and master service agreements its clients enter into with their customers. Helmer Risk also offers many of its clients the services of independent safety and loss-control consultants - on a complimentary basis - to help them improve their workplace and operational-safety protocols.
"Personalized service is really the cornerstone of our agency," Helmer said. "Our clients are looking for results - which, quite frankly, have generally eluded them with larger agencies."
The agency, he said, is "well-versed" in the insurance and indemnity requirements many DCA members' clients mandate, and the agency often negotiates better terms for its clients.
"We're proud to be part of such a great organization," Helmer said. "We've found from past experience that DCA members are really ideal clients for us."
Helmer Risk's membership in DCA complements its involvement in other national trade associations such as the Pipe Line Contractors Association (PLCA) and the American General Contractors Association of America (AGC of America).
