Kenrick Corporation was formed in 1985 to perform a full range of program administrative services to specialty groups of insureds and associations. Kenrick today provides administrative services to over 1600 Governmental Entities, County Fairs and Festivals of all sizes throughout Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana.
Our mission at Kenrick is to provide the most professional, complete and efficient service to our network of insurance agents and to our select group of clients. We pride ourselves on doing the best job possible for those that we serve. We feel that our 98% client retention ration proves our commitment.
The underwriting department at Kenrick reviews and analyzes all of the various clients that are insured by the programs that Kenrick administers. Working closely with the field agents, the underwriting department determines and analyzes a client or potential client's size, exposures, loss history, internal policies, coverage requirements and the premium that is required to insure the client.
Acting as the front line, the underwriting department has a high degree of responsibility to choose quality clients, either in terms of prior loss history or in terms of the client's willingness and desire to correct loss problems they had in the past. The long term viability of the programs that Kenrick administers depend on a good quality and loyal client base.
Midwest Claims Service is responsible for discharging the legal obligation of its clients through the expeditious payment of covered claims. In the execution of this responsibility, Midwest must endeavor to provide clients, policy holders and agents with service of the highest caliber. Skillful and professional claims handling is essential to the programs and clients serviced by Midwest Claims.
Kenrick Risk Control Services provides customized loss control to Cities, Counties, Towns, Villages, Townships and other Municipal Governments. We work closely with many different departments within these Governments including Police, Fire, Parks & Recreation, Public Works and Personnel Departments. Our main objective is to assist these Municipalities in reducing and/or transferring potential liability exposures.
There are many potential exposures which public officials must contend with. To help our members deal with these exposures several different type of risk control services are offered. These include risk control profiles and subsequent recommendations for improvement, special event and hold harmless language reviews, resource material, technical assistance and risk control workshops, conferences and meetings.
