Spotlight on Savings

We are excited to announce Shea Barclay Group is now SGP Advisors - Tampa's Premier Specialty Insurance Firm

This year, Shea Barclay Group found an opportunity to reinvigorate its brand. Shea Guercio Partners, formally known as SGP Advisors, is the culmination of their established culture and service offerings. Through existing ownership, they will continue to maintain the same dedicated service to which our clients are accustomed. While SGP Advisors may be a new name, the commitment to their clients remains steadfast. We are excited for this new chapter and look forward to their continued growth.

Originally founded in 1995 by Vern Barclay, SBG solely provided lawyers professional liability insurance in Florida. Throughout the next decade, the firm expanded to offer additional lines of coverage and clients across the United States. In 2012, Mike Shea and Talyn Guercio acquired a majority interest and assumed management control. In 2021, Jack Compton and Harrison Tropp became shareholders which prompted this latest and final iteration.
