Born out of a deep-rooted commitment to southern hospitality, The Warnock Agency emerged as a beacon of excellence in the heart of Georgia. Recognized as a leading innovator in online underwriting and issuance of license and permit bonds nationwide, The Warnock Agency represents GIG's maiden venture into the surety distribution space. Situated just outside Atlanta, The Warnock Agency and its dedicated team continued operations under experienced leadership, even as Lamon Warnock retired from the agency.
Surety Support Services (SSS), headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas, was a cornerstone in the surety industry for nearly four decades. Offering specialized services exclusively in surety bonds to contractors, insurance agents, brokers, and various businesses, SSS garnered a reputation for excellence. With a focus on hard-to-place and SBA program bonds, along with standard and preferred accounts, SSS stood as a trusted ally in the field. GIG's acquisition of SSS marked its third venture into the surety space, solidifying its position in the market. Under the leadership of Gary Bradley, SSS continued its commitment to exceptional service, with Gary's retirement transitioning leadership to his son, Zach Bradley.
Originally founded as a small, family-oriented business in Southern Orange County, California, South Coast Surety built its reputation on delivering top-notch surety services with competitive rates and exceptional customer service. Spearheaded by the late President and Founder, Steve Swartz, South Coast Surety transitioned under the wing of GIG. The acquisition, a tribute to Steve's legacy, was officially concluded by his niece, Kelly Specht, who bravely carried forward the torch her uncle left behind.
