Liberty Company Insurance Brokers (LCIB) has formed its first agency partnership in northeast US with the addition of Caparo Insurance.

Based in Conshohocken, PA, Caparo Insurance is a full-service independent insurance agency that offers commercial, personal, life, health, disability and retirement insurance, as well as employee benefits. The company was founded in 1976 by Charles Caparo, and is currently led by owner and president Steve Borkowski.

“Steve is going to be a great partner for us and will be instrumental in attracting other opportunities for growth in a new region of the country for us,” said LCIB CEO Jerry Pickett.

“I knew Liberty was the best fit for my agency after meeting their team and learning more about the culture,” added Borkowski. “I wanted to pair up with a company that shares the same values and philosophy as ours and the Liberty approach is a great fit … a true partner and a group of like-minded people we can grow with.”
