Rob Bartholomew, general manager of insurance services at Holman, comments: “The Park Wood Managers team brings to Holman a well-established underwriting operation with an impressive track record of success. This acquisition is poised to be an integral element of our long-term strategy for sustained growth and allows us to leverage Holman’s financial stability to provide comprehensive risk mitigation solutions for fleet operators in this segment of the industry. “As a result of this acquisition, we’re now positioned to combine our insurance and risk mitigation capabilities with Holman’s fleet management expertise to offer fleet operators an all-inclusive solution for protecting their vehicles, their people and their business while also controlling their total cost of ownership.”
