Liberty Mutual to create 150 jobs

Friday, December 20, 2013

Liberty Mutual has bought the remaining portion of the former Quinn Insurance and announced the creation of 150 jobs in Dublin.

Liberty, based in Boston, and IBRCs predecessor, Anglo Irish Bank Corp, took control of Quinn Insurance two years ago, after the Irish insurer was placed into administration in 2010 amid concerns about the companys solvency. The sale of the remaining stake in the company, since renamed Liberty Insurance, is a result of IBRCs liquidation, ordered by the State in February.

CEO of Liberty Insurance Patrick OBrien said that the developments were a sign of the companys commitment to Ireland.

We are pleased that Liberty Mutual has confirmed its commitment to Ireland with the completion of the acquisition of 100% of Liberty Insurances parent company. Over the past two years Liberty Insurance has made substantial progress in the Irish market and todays announcement positions us for further growth, he said.

Minister for Jobs Richard Bruton said that they were targeting the international financial services sector as part of the plan to get Ireland back to work

International financial services is a sector which we have targeted as part of our Action Plan for Jobs, and over recent months we have seen significant jobs growth in this area, he said.

Chief information officer of Liberty Mutual Insurance Group James McGlennon said that Irelands geographic location allowed them to provide support globally around the clock.

Expanding our IT operations in this way strengthens our global software engineering and advanced development capabilities. It also enables a follow the sun strategy for technical support and security operations. The decision to invest in Dublin reflects the quality of IT graduates and experienced professionals available to support future growth.

Liberty police have arrested two people suspected of cutting fiber optic cable, interrupting TV, phone and Internet service to thousands of Comcast customers, authorities said.

Benjamin Michel Alexander, 38, of Liberty, and Bobby Lynn Nettles, 33, of Crosby, were arrested Dec. 12 on charges of criminal mischief, a state jail felony, according to a news release from the Liberty Police Department.

Alexander was released on bond, while Nettles remained Tuesday in the Liberty County Jail on $5,000 bond, according to online law enforcement records.

An investigation into the vandalism, which has no clear motive, continues, said Liberty police detective Jennifer Bowles.

The latest incident, which caused an estimated $12,000 in damage, occurred Dec. 6 near U.S. 90 at Texaco Road in Liberty, Comcast officials said in a news release.

"We applaud the efforts of the Liberty Police Department in their apprehension of these two individuals," Ralph Martinez, senior vice president for Comcast's Houston region, said in a prepared statement. "Over the course of the last several months, there have been continued incidents of fiber optic cables being intentionally severed. In each case the disruption of service prevents people from utilizing the 9-1-1 system to contact the first responders sworn to protect them."

Police investigators are working with Comcast and the Harris County Sheriff's Department on cases with similar circumstances, the Comcast release said.

Last month, Crime Stoppers of Houston and the Harris County Sheriff's Office announced a reward of up to $30,000 for information leading to the filing of felony charges or an arrest of a suspect.

In Harris County, the incidents started in September in unincorporated areas.

Comcast urged the public to contact local law enforcement if they see anyone who appears to be working on the cables but is not clearly identifiable by a company vehicle, uniform or badge.

Liberty Mutual Insurance, a Boston-based property and casualty insurer, said Wednesday that it has acquired the Mexican surety company Primero Fianzas from Grupo Valores Operativos Monterrey, a private investor group.

The acquisition enables Liberty Mutual Surety, a Liberty Mutual business, to expand its extensive international presence by entering Mexicos $600 million surety market, the company said in a press release.

Financial details of the transaction are not being disclosed, and the acquisition is subject to approval by Mexican regulators.

Primero Fianzas is the fourth largest surety writer in Mexico based on 2012 market share and ranks first in the Mexican credit surety segment, the release said.

We believe Primero Fianzas provides an attractive platform for investing in and expanding our global surety and insurance capabilities in the growing Mexican market, Chris Peirce, president of Liberty Mutual Global Specialty, said in a statement. Primero has strong market presence and a record of profitable growth. Its excellent agent and customer relationships complement Liberty Mutual Suretys significant underwriting capacity and global expertise and further solidify our leading North American surety presence.
