EPIC Expands Into Arizona

EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants has announced the expansion of its operations in the Southwest with the appointments of Luke Aschermann as client manager, Norma Brehm as property and casualty claims manager, and Belinda Lopes as principal and senior client advocate. All join EPIC from Willis Towers Watson and will form a team in Phoenix.
