TAPCO Underwriters’ Revolutionary Service Model Now Available in Mississippi

BURLINGTON, N.C., July 1, 2009—TAPCO Underwriters, Inc. (TAPCO), a Burlington, North Carolina-based excess and surplus lines MGA, announced today that the company’s revolutionary insurance service model— the ability to electronically generate, deliver and archive quotes, binders, policies and endorsements, allowing for coverage to be bound in minutes—is now available to retail agents in Mississippi. The announcement was made by TAPCO President Tap Johnson III.

In 2007, when TAPCO started their aggressive national growth plan, they had a territory of eight states—Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington D.C.
