PC360 speaks with Bill Pritchard, president of Beacon Hill Associates, a wholesale broker specializing exclusively in environmental-insurance solutions for commercial insureds.

PC360: Beacon Hill grew 23 percent last year and 12.5 percent the year before. What accounts for this sort of impressive expansion in a still rather stagnant economy?

Pritchard: We have grown a lot in a lousy economy, and it doesn't mean we're extra special. There are just a whole lot of Environmental exposures—and there always have been—but contractors that in the past had decided not to worry about them are being pushed from above, their clients, to get coverage now.
