“ICA protects me and my business. While I have a general understanding of legal, regulatory, accounting, and banking requirements, the insurance market continues to bewilder me. If I were at the mercy of my brokers, I do not think I would get the best value nor would I understand my insurance needs. ICA provides me with understanding and protects my overall interest.” – Fred Leighton, President, Leiham Corp. dba Bayway World of Liquor

“Paul and I want to thank you for a great weekend celebrating the milestone 60th anniversary of ICA! It's great to work for a company with a caring owner and coworkers who you actually want to spend time with outside the office.

Mauser Packaging Solutions
Industrial Packaging

Designation

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with ICA for close to 20 years.  While at first skeptical regarding the necessity for a consultant when I had an excellent broker, I was given an immediate education.  There isn’t a single renewal where they didn’t add value, either in the form of broader coverage or reduced premiums, sometimes resulting in savings of six figures.  ICA knows the market and would use that knowledge to encourage my broker to try harder when the broker was saying we were at the best offer and it would always result in a win.  In addition  to renewing and reviewing policies, ICA served as my advocate in getting coverage for claims that were originally denied.  Their assistance has been invaluable and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend ICA as a risk management resource." - Elizabeth Miller, Vice President of Finance

Fleet Street Ltd.
Clothing Importer/Distributor

Designation

“For years, we retained ICA as our risk management consultant, but limited their involvement to what we felt was important, the property policies and the liability policies. Yet they kept requesting to take a look at our Ocean Marine policy. We thought we had that portion entirely under control, so we refused their persistent requests. Finally, when a claim occurred where we needed some more experienced input, we allowed them to take a look at the policy. ICA audited our existing policy, found significant gaps, then marketed the policy and managed to cut our premium from $115,000 to $60,000 in one year, while drastically expanding the coverage provided by the policy! I’ll trust ICA in the future when they ask to get involved in any aspect of our risk management program. Their efforts have never failed to pay off!” - Howard Gutterman, Chief Financial Officer See our Risk Management Program Marketing service.

    ICA
    Employee Testimonial

    Designation

    "I have a unique perspective as a former ICA employee of 30 years and having also been a former client of ICA, before my employment there. George Wall, the founder of ICA, had been the Insurance Consultant to Ray Miller & Co where I worked as the Controller. When my former employer’s doors closed, George offered me a position at ICA. As a client of ICA, I was always so impressed at the level of service and professionalism ICA had provided to us, and it made my decision to join ICA, an easy one. From 1980 to 1994 I had the pleasure of working for George as Controller until his passing in 1994, at which time, Barron, his son, took the reins and remains at the helm until this day. ICA is very different from any other company I have worked for. The leadership made it known that family comes first. I always felt fully supported in so many ways, which even included my own family. I was always treated with respect and given the opportunity to fully be involved in matters of concern to the organization. The growth of the firm, expansion of its services and breadth of clients never ceased to amaze me. The talented, diverse and dedicated people that Barron has brought to ICA, are of such high caliber, I believe they are the secret to the company’s success. ICA became my second family, and that feeling of family still resonates with me even today in retirement. I am still in contact with my ICA friends, and I am forever grateful that I had the opportunity to enjoy my time at ICA on so many levels." -Connie Gurnee, Former Controller

    Sports Supply Group, Inc.
    Manufacturer/Distributor

    Designation

    “ICA has been our Risk Management Consulting firm since 1995 and we have found that they consistently bring innovative ideas to help us meet our risk management goals.  ICA marketed our casualty insurance program again this year, spearheaded by  their team of professionals who are most knowledgeable in the insurance marketplace for sporting goods manufacturers and distributors. Furthermore, as a result of their recommendations, we interviewed insurance brokers to compete on our account, all of whom had knowledge of our industry.  As a result of ICA’s guidance and by educating the competing insurance companies and underwriters on our risks and giving them a comfort level with our business practices, safety procedures, certificate of insurance program, etc., ICA was able to produce a savings of 38% on our products liability rate. This dramatic reduction in cost produced a premium savings of $97,000.  In addition, the premium for our Umbrella Liability Policy experienced similar savings. We continue to rely on ICA’s knowledge of the marketplace and the value that they bring to our company in so many areas." - Brenda Crawford, Legal Assistant/Risk Manager

    Onconova Therapeutics
    Bio-Pharmaceutical & Cancer Research

    Designation

    “I have been working with ICA since I started working with my current company 5 and a half years ago.  Initially, I was skeptical of the company having a ‘risk management consultant’ in its monthly expenses, because I had never experienced that before in any other company.  Within two to three months of interacting with ICA, I realized that the service & value which they provide far outweighed the cost of having their expertise working on our risk management issues.  When I was promoted to CFO a few years ago, I began to rely even more on ICA as my ‘outsourced, in-house risk management colleague’. In the 5 years I’ve worked with ICA, I have not made a single insurance decision without first consulting with ICA, and I have never been disappointed in the value, expertise, relevance, depth, or timeliness of their counsel.  Besides the annual D&O and package renewals, which is one instance where ICA really adds measurable value, I always feel that my insurance experts are only a phone call/email away. As a public company CFO, knowing that I can rely on ICA to support my team and eliminate blind spots is extremely valuable. - Mark Guerin, CFO

    Designation

    “Kessler Foundation engaged ICA in 2018 to conduct an audit of its insurance policies to assist in a determination as to the types and levels of insurance the Foundation requires as it enters new areas of our mission to conduct research to address mobility and cognitive issues faced by people with disabilities. The staff of ICA was extraordinarily thorough, reviewing every policy in detail and providing sample text to our brokers to enhance our coverage.  In particular, Mr. K. “Vish” Viswanathan had an incredible capacity to evaluate not only the terms of individual policies, but also how the terms of one policy might enhance or mitigate the terms of another policy.  The team, consisting of Vish, Barron Wall and Kathy Chambers, provided extensive support to the Foundation through the renewal of its policies for the 2018-2019 year, including several meetings with our brokers.  The services ICA provided as independent advisors and auditors of our policies met and exceeded our expectations.” - Anne E. Ammons, Senior VP and Chief Financial Officer

    Montachem International
    Plastic Resin Distributor

      “When we first hired ICA, I was uncertain as to what expectations I should have of them. Our first project was the marketing of our Property and Casualty coverages. Our ICA team was incredibly helpful in assisting us in putting together a complete package of information that gave each competing insurance company underwriter a great understanding of our risks and exposures. At times gathering this information seemed like an arduous task, but in the end, we greatly appreciated our relentless ICA team leader’s follow-up and thoroughness. ICA’s risk identification and analysis went far beyond and helped us immensely in understanding our exposures. ICA recommended brokers that had experience in our industry and understood our corporate philosophy. Unfortunately, we were close to our renewal date, and our current insurance company would not grant us an extension. So therefore, my expectations were even lowered. ICA worked under the time pressure, and produced results that far exceeded our expectations. They were incredibly fair to the incumbent broker and gave them every opportunity to produce a proposal that met the insurance specifications, but to no avail. At the end of the marketing project we saved a significant amount of money and had much broader coverage which included areas of coverage where we were previously uninsured. After ICA’s completion of the audit of our Executive Management Liability coverage, we then focused on the marketing of our Ocean Marine policy. We experienced the same diligence, and fairness, and our rate was cut in half, and once again, the limits and coverage were substantially increased to meet our actual exposures. It is not often that a consultant can be looked at as a true extension of your company, however, ICA has proven that to be true.” - Aamer Barakat, Treasury Supervisor

      “We have been with ICA for twenty years.  Through this time, they have provided support to our business interests, which have included both the operation of a retail supermarket chain, as well as the development and management of commercial real estate properties.

      Designation

      “ICA has worked for us for several years. They have brought an amazing level of sophistication, competition, smooth processes during claims, etc. to our insurance program. They have introduced us to issues of our entire program, language within our program and questions that we never knew to ask. They are not brokers. They are engaged by us, paid by us, and have our best interest in mind with the insurance industry. ICA, and Bernie Hammer, came highly recommended to me years ago by another valuable source I had with my flood program. We highly recommend ICA.” - Loucretia B. Campos, Chief Financial Officer

      Applica, Inc.
      Household Products Manufacturer

      Designation

      “When ICA was first referred to us by our accounting firm in 1991, I was skeptical. We thought our insurance program was adequately priced, yet we gave ICA a shot at reviewing it. ICA compared our exposures to our existing risk management program, prepared specifications and arranged a competitive marketing strategy including brokers and insurance companies from all over the country who specialized in our risks. The end result was a one-year savings of 35% in premiums alone, yet at the same time our insurance coverage was significantly improved... We also ran our most important acquisition, the purchase of Black & Decker’s Household Products Group, past ICA, and they pointed out significant issues from a risk perspective that our other professionals had not addressed. The advice and information provided has been invaluable, and the cost of ICA’s services has been repaid in savings many times over. We can’t be experts in all areas, but by partnering with ICA, they can be our experts in risk management so we can trust that our needs are being addressed adequately and professionally.” - Burton Honig, Senior Executive

        “We have worked with ICA for almost 40 years as our insurance consultants, practically from the inception of our company. Fortunately for us, the same ICA team has serviced our organization, and over the years have assisted with identifying our risks during all of the changes in our business. From food procurement exposures to security issues that we face, their knowledge of our risks and advice as to what we need to consider has been most valuable and a continual sounding board for different departments of our company. Furthermore, their insurance expertise is second to none. Their knowledge of the changing insurance marketplace has been eye-opening, and we are never caught off guard when the market hardens, etc. We are continually being kept abreast of new insurance products for our industry, and for new products that affect every business. We highly recommend ICA for their knowledge and professionalism.” - Paul Truskey, Treasurer

        Virginia Specialty Stores Inc.
        Women’s Retail

        Designation

        “It has been more than eight years since you started to provide risk management consulting services to Virginia Specialty Stores. And, it has been eight years of professional excellence, commitment and integrity that I have rarely seen in other professionals. As I prepare to hang up my gloves after being at Virginia Specialty Stores for the better part of my working life, the many relationships I have had in these years come to mind - mostly good, but some not so good. However, one of my warmest relationships - one which stands out in my mind - has been my association with you. When ICA first became involved in Virginia Specialty Stores’ risk management program, I was skeptical - like, I imagine, many CFO’s are - about what value a consultant could bring to the table, which I did not get from the alphabet house broker servicing our account. But then, your challenge that Virginia Specialty Stores could terminate your services at any time with no questions asked, if we were not satisfied with the value we were getting, made your proposal interesting. Of course, the very first meeting we had with the broker with you present, showed me what a vacuum we had been in, not only in terms of how over-priced our insurance program was, but also how lucky Virginia Specialty Stores had been till then not to have had one of the many uncovered losses which you pointed out could have happened for which we did not have coverage. It is then that I realized that having your insurance placed by a big brokerage firm did not mean much unless we had someone who solely looked after our interests - and that someone was ICA. And, even at that first meeting, I knew that ICA and Virginia Specialty Stores were destined for a long relationship. Over the years, I have admired the manner in which you have discharged your professional responsibilities. You have constantly updated yourself with the latest risk management and insurance products, and did not hesitate to share your knowledge of risk management and insurance with me. You have mentioned to me on more than one occasion that you and the Client worked as a team, to reduce the incidence and severity of unforeseen losses for the Client, and that this result could be achieved only if the Client was knowledgeable in this critical area. I have always appreciated your forthright approach, and can frankly say that this is not something I get from most other professionals - accountants, attorneys or insurance brokers. I have challenged you on many occasions - especially when you reviewed our Employee Benefits Program - such as why you would suggest choosing a certain proposal, how a particular level of deductible would reduce Virginia Specialty Stores costs...I must tell you that I have always been impressed by the rationality and objectivity of your recommendations. I appreciate the work you have done for Virginia Specialty Stores all these years, and the dedication and integrity which you have demonstrated. On a personal level, you have been a friend, philosopher and guide to me, and I will always cherish our relationship...” - L.A.R., Chief Financial Officer

        “After many years of working with you as our Risk Management Consultant, I thought it would be appropriate to express my most sincere gratitude. Our company has experienced many highs and lows in the last few years, and while we have always cut expenses in tough times, the value of ICA’s services has always allowed us to keep you on board. This unto itself is a mark of your excellence... We have benefitted from your unending expertise in risk management, risk financing, risk avoidance, etc., be it through reducing our experience modification factor from 1.67 to .81, establishing a self insured retention program, or simply designing language enabling us to transfer our exposures contractually. The fact that we have realized significant savings is equaled only by the clear improvements made in our insurance coverage, both a direct result of ICA’s involvement and commitment. I know I don’t have to tell you how costly and time consuming this effort would have been if staffed internally! I am happy to say that I am an extremely satisfied Client, and will continue to provide you with the highest of compliments – referrals!” - Irwin Septimus, Treasurer See our Workers Compensation Claims Management Service.

        “ICA was retained for years by my former company, and when we were considering finally purchasing an Environmental Policy to protect our numerous properties from pollution claims, I knew exactly where to go - I called my risk management consultant, ICA, and advised them of our particular needs. They researched the marketplace and sought policy forms from two leading insurers of pollution exposures. They requested proposals from both companies and conducted an in depth comparison of the two forms with specific emphasis on how each policy would react to a variety of potential environmental claims. I was presented with a comparison which taught me all I needed to know about environmental coverage and was able to knowledgeably purchase the best priced and most comprehensive protection for our exposures. I could not have possibly spent the time to review, nor would I have had the background to identify the ramifications of the differences between the types of policies. That is why we bring in the experts, to take the burden from us and to assure the answers are clear, correct and comprehensive. ICA is worth every cent, and then some!” - Susan Schmider Galletti, Director of Finance

        Metal Powders Distributor

        Designation

        “We sought out ICA in a panic after our GL and Products Liability Insurer decided just before renewal to non-renew our insurance, for no known reason. As a metal powders distributor, the GL carrier suddenly decided we were not a fit risk, even though we had never had a claim! ICA evaluated our business exposures, and researched the marketplace to find insurance companies and programs specifically designed for our unique exposures. ICA was able to understand and present our risk to the underwriters of various insurance companies and suddenly we were a sought after risk rather than a risk no one wanted. We had been entirely self-insuring our Products Liability exposure and paying over $40,000 for just the general liability exposure without products. After ICA’s efforts, they were able to find solid GL/Products Liability Coverage for only $28,000 including $5 million of Umbrella coverage! After that, we decided that it was pretty good business to keep ICA on retainer, and in countless other instances, ICA solved our risk management problems as soon as they arose, efficiently and completely. ICA allows us to sleep at night, knowing we are protected securely.” - Alan Kessler, President

          Designation

          “We have seen brokers and insurance companies come and go, but ICA continues to find the strongest policy language at the most competitive pricing. ICA partners with our in-house professional staff by offering unbiased insight into the insurance industry, which we could never obtain from a broker... One particular example of ICA’s expertise and willingness to rise to the occasion during tough times occurred immediately after September 11, 2001. As the owner of billions of dollars in NYC real estate, we were acutely concerned as to how our various property policies would protect us in the event of another terrorist act. ICA’s experts carefully analyzed all of our property policies with a critique utilizing various hypothetical loss situations, created an in depth study of which coverages would protect us, what limits were applicable to which properties, what exclusions and limitations would apply, and how we could immediately amend certain aspects of our policies to protect us further from another catastrophic loss such as 9/11. They held a meeting during which they explained to all of our senior executives exactly how each possible loss scenario would play out from an insurance perspective. This was a huge learning and eye-opening experience for all of us, and we were reassured once again of ICA’s expertise. In the months that followed, ICA helped steer us through the myriad of developments in the Terrorism Coverage world to assure we obtained the best and fairest priced terrorism coverage currently offered... Even before 9/11, we had solidly reached the determination that ICA is as necessary and valuable as our accounting firms and our legal counsel, and we invite them to provide insight into every big business decision we make.” - Brian Kurtz, Senior VP See our Disaster Contingency Planning Consulting Service, and our First Party Property Claims Preparation and Recovery Service.

          "As a small business owner, I didn’t think an insurance consulting firm could bring value to my company. However, after ICA evaluated my business risks, and recommended insurance coverages to best protect my company, their value became quite apparent. ICA suggested that I move my workers compensation coverage to a special garment industry related program. By taking this step, my company received a 25% upfront discount, and dividends of up to 50% each and every year, even in a hard market! The ICA team’s attention to detail is second to none. I believe ICA is the best kept secret for small businesses!" -Debbi Brendel, President
