SMU (Special Missions Unit)
Elite Risk Management, Claims Advocacy, and Strategic Insurance Guidance—All in One Team
At Fern Rock Insurance Agency, we understand that complex risks require a specialized approach. That’s why we’ve assembled our Special Missions Unit (SMU)—a dedicated team of seasoned professionals with over 90 years of combined experience in insurance program development, risk management, and claims advocacy. This elite unit serves as your single point of contact, providing comprehensive support to navigate the intricacies of risk and insurance.
What Is the Special Missions Unit?
The SMU is more than just a team; it’s a strategic partnership! By integrating the roles of Client Advisor, Risk Management Advisor, and Claims Advocate, we offer a unified approach to managing your organization’s risk profile. This cohesive structure ensures that every aspect of your insurance program is aligned with your business objectives.
Core Functions of the SMU
- Client Advisory Services – Our advisors work closely with you to understand your business, identify potential exposures, and design tailored insurance solutions that provide optimal protection.
- Risk Management Consulting – We conduct thorough risk assessments, develop mitigation strategies, and implement best practices to reduce your overall risk and enhance operational resilience.
- Claims Advocacy – In the event of a loss, our advocates guide you through the claims process, ensuring timely and fair settlements while minimizing disruptions to your business.
