THREE VETERAN insurance executives, each with more than 25 years of experience in repre- senting insurance policy-holders, have joined forces to form Globe Midwest Risk Management (GMRM) of Southfield. GMRM, a consulting firm which focuses on property, work- ers' compensation and other ca- sualty coverages, is affiliated with Globe Midwest Corporation, one of the largest and oldest public ad- justing firms in the United States which assists companies with their claims after a property loss occurs.
