Lots of activity coming from the middle market over the last couple of days. Here's a quick snapshot:

Barney & Barney L.L.C. said it has expanded its presence into Europe with its first-ever international position.

Client Executive Bevin Melody, who has been a member of Barney & Barney's San Diego-based international practice for the last two years, recently relocated to Stuttgart, Germany, where she will focus on new business development and international reverse flow business from her home office.

“Belvin's international presence and ability to meet fact-to-face with parent companies within Europe will serve as an invaluable resource to clients,” said Craig Tabor, a principal and international practice leader for Barney & Barney, in a statement. “Her in-depth global insurance knowledge will provide clients with a thorough understanding of Barney & Barney's international capabilities through the Assurex Global network,” he said.

Keenan & Associates' health care division recently partnered with TelaDoc to provide clients 24/7 physician telephone consultations to diagnose, recommend treatment and write short-term prescriptions, the Torrance, Calif.-based broker said.

The service provides treatment for minor illnesses such as sinus infections, respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, allergies, bronchitis and sore thoart. It's an efficient, cost-effective alternative for minor medial problems, Keenan said.

William Gallagher Associates has promoted Executive Vp Mike Kearney to lead the firm's life sciences practice, the Boston-based broker said. Amy Sinclair, a senior vp with WGA, was named co-chair of the practice. WGA serves the risk management needs of 700 companies in the life sciences industry, it said.

And HUB International Ltd. recently introduced “an integrated suite” of insurance products for middle market technology companies. Underwritten by CNA Financial Corp., HUB Technology Solutions offers a wide range of coverage options including industry-specific property endorsements covering research and development restoration expenses; management liability coverage on a multi-line package or stand-alone basis for employment practices, D&O, and fiduciary liability and information risk and first-and third-party cyber coverage.
