CHICOPEE — Phillips Insurance has expanded its Construction Services Group with the addition of Connor Phillips as director of Surety. Phillips joins the agency from Arch Surety, the eighth-largest surety writer in the U.S., where he developed expertise in complex surety programs, including joint ventures, subcontractor default insurance, and design-build delivery. In his new role, he will lead and further develop the agency’s surety practice for contractor clients nationwide.

“Connor strengthens our surety platform with deep technical knowledge and a modern approach to contractor service,” said Joe Phillips, president of Phillips Insurance. “His experience and industry relationships will enhance the value we deliver to our clients.”

Connor Phillips began his career at Arch Surety after graduating from the College of the Holy Cross with a degree in economics and statistics. While at Holy Cross, he served as captain of the Division I men’s golf team and was named a Srixon All-American. He has earned the associate in fidelity & surety bonding (AFSB) and construction risk and insurance specialist (CRIS) designations.

“I’m excited to build on Phillips Insurance’s strong foundation in contractor surety and expand the firm’s role as a strategic partner to construction clients across the country,” he said.
