(Newswire Today) —  Greensboro, NC, United States, 2008-08-11 - Key Risk, a leading provider of workers compensation insurance products and services for employers throughout the Eastern United States, recently hosted its first annual Maryland Agent Conference.

The conference introduced Key Risk’s commitment to delivering better outcomes in workers compensation to key agencies in Maryland.

“The Maryland Agent Conference was a terrific way for Key Risk to demonstrate how its sole-focus on workers compensation, specialized expertise, and local presence result in better outcomes for its clients,” said Rob Standen, President of Key Risk. “We look forward to building long-term relationships with the agencies that attended.”

Key Risk expanded into Maryland earlier this year with the successful opening of its Baltimore office, located in the Wachovia Tower. As specialists in the field of workers compensation, the Company has grown over the past four years in both employment and revenues, by more than 30 percent. In order to better serve its clients, the Company also opened offices in Charlotte, Nashville, Tampa, and Atlanta, in addition to expanding its operations in Greensboro.

As Key Risk continues to expand, operating regions located close to its customers guided by regional directors with long-term experience in the local markets will ensure the Company’s ability to maintain and strengthen client relationships, as well as optimize opportunities and enhance the quality of local decision making.

The well-attended conference was held at the Turf Valley Resort in Ellicott City, MD. Topics included Key Risk’s unique approach to underwriting, loss control, claims management, and client services.
