Szura Insurance Services and Nu-Way Kitchen and Bath form Successful Business Partnership

Rochester insurance agency saves expanding local kitchen and bath design company 40% in insurance premiums.

Rochester, MI, September 01, 2007 --(PR.com)-- While most Michigan companies looking for a commercial insurance break these days are finding a harsh market, Nu-Way Kitchen and Bath gained a strategic business partner with Szura Insurance Services, who significantly lowered the local kitchen and bath design company’s premiums. Szura Insurance Agency, a downtown Rochester full service agency, has provided commercial, personal and bonding plans for Southeast Michigan for nearly 40 years.

“These days, finding an affordable price on insurance policies that businesses typically buy — from property, liability, vehicle, and loss control —seemed hopeless,” said Larry Merritt, president of Nu-Way Kitchen and Bath. Specializing in kitchen and bath design products for homeowners, interior designers and architects, the newest 8,000-sq-ft Nu-Way Supply Kitchen and Bath is located in the heart of downtown Birmingham and operated by the 68-year-old, fourth-generation family business. “Nu-way has always invested and believed in Michigan. Now, in a very tough business and building environment, Nu-Way has again invested in Michigan and reputable insurance agencies like Szura help the state thrive in challenging economic times,” said Merritt. The new Birmingham expansion has also created several new jobs at Nu-Way.

Loss control is not something where you can draw a straight line to the savings and it's often hard to get people to buy into the concept. But a strict loss-prevention strategy is a good way to help control insurance costs. Szura’s internal Loss Control Department provided Nu-Way with elaborate education, consultation and ultimately a large reduction on worker’s compensation, return to work, and drug screening policies—all through a detailed training seminar the agency implemented for 100 of Nu-Ways’ employees. “It’s rare to find an internal loss control program with a commercial insurance agency and by offering our hands-on expertise and services like this, we've differentiated ourselves from our competitors in the insurance market," says Matthew Szura, president of Szura Insurance Services.

"We've just been very aggressive in finding ways to decrease loss," said Merritt. "Risk management can't be an island and everybody has to be involved in loss prevention. Securing affordable insurance can be a tough and difficult game… but if you can control your claims, you can control your costs,” added Merritt.

“Nu-way and Szura are very similar in that we both are long-time family owned businesses with a key interest and investment in the people and the businesses of the state of Michigan,” concluded Szura.
