 Charting the Future of Risk Management
Every business takes risks. It is an inherent and integral part of doing business. In today’s increasingly complex and “just in time” world, intelligent, effective and strategic management of risk coordination is especially important for any company, across all industries. Like a lighthouse guiding ships through rocky shoals, helping your organization navigate the sea of business perils is Walker Taylor’s business. We are a 4th generation family business spanning more than one hundred thirty nine years. Our founder, Colonel Walker Taylor, was licensed with the Hartford and Chubb in the 1800's. Hartford and Chubb are still major markets, along with AIG, Fireman's Fund, Lloyds, PMA, Principal Financial, PMA, Ohio Casualty, Zurich and many others.
From bridge builders and battleships to Fortune 500 firms, we assist organizations in efficiently utilizing insurance and risk management strategies to meet your corporate goals. Size doesn’t matter, whether you are a large company with global assets or a home-based startup, we help determine and manage your total cost of risk. This emphasis allows you to safely navigate changes in insurance, law, technology and human resource management.
Our commitment is to provide the highest quality insurance and risk management products, services and advice to your organization. Our clients benefit greatly from our wholistic and enterprise-wide approach to quantifying and mitigating these exposures.
