IMA has assigned Beau Hudson and David B. McKinney of Wichita, Kansas to work with Lee Enterprises Consulting in serving clients' insurance needs. Hudson is a Business Development professional specializing in renewable energy. McKinney pairs with prospects and clients in gathering specific information and proposing necessary coverages, working with insurance companies to negotiate most favorable terms, conditions, and pricing, as well as servicing clients following coverage is placement.

"We are the world's largest biodiesel consulting firm, so we naturally get a quite a number of inquiries with respect to insurance," said Wayne Lee, principal owner of Lee Enterprises Consulting. "IMA is a company that is well respected in the industry and insures quite a few alternative fuels plants already" he notes, "and Beau and Dave in the Wichita office know the intricacies of insuring biodiesel operations". Lee explains that his company's strategic alliances are all chosen based on their knowledge, reputation and success in serving the biodiesel industry. "This really meets a need for us. We could not be happier to have Dave, Beau and the IMA Financial Group as our newest alliance," says Lee.

According to McKinney, "there are nuances in coverage that are important to understand. We like to take the time to be sure the owner understands those nuances, provide them with solutions, and then let them make their own business decisions". Many business owners "believe all insurance is created equal and it certainly is not" says McKinney. "It can't be looked at as a commodity" he says. "It is important to understand the differences in coverages, and imperative that an insurance broker understands the process and technicalities of this industry."

Hudson believes that business owners in the biodiesel industry will find it necessary to tap many potential resource groups to solve challenges in development and production. "We feel confident that Lee Enterprises Consulting provides one point of contact for most of those consulting needs, and this benefits our prospects and clients immensely."
