Leading specialty intermediary ranks 10th in best places to work in New Jersey by NJBIZ magazine

HAMILTON, NJ (May 6, 2015) – For the second consecutive year, New Day Underwriting Managers LLC was named one of the Best Places to Work in New Jersey by NJBIZ Magazine. During the event held April 30th at the Hilton East Brunswick in East Brunswick, New Jersey, New Day was ranked 10th in the small/medium-sized company category for its ongoing dedication to the growth and quality of life of its employees. In 2014, New Day had been named 17th in this ranking.

“This is an honor that continues to increase in prestige,” says Jefferey S. Lejfer, CPCU, the company’s President and CEO. “New Day was founded 10 years ago with a very simple mandate. Be the very best at what we do and treat everyone, customers and employees alike, with respect and honor. Since 2005, our company has grown significantly due to the hard work and commitment of our entire staff. This award once again validates our most basic model. Treat everyone fairly and always act with integrity. We have received numerous awards over the past few years. But, this is among the most valued because it validates our deepest business beliefs.”

Founded in 2005, New Day recently celebrated its 10th anniversary as a specialty resource for agents and brokers. Over the past several years, the company experienced a 35 percent rise in revenues and staffing, necessitating the move to a new 5,500 square foot headquarters in Hamilton, New Jersey.

In addition to being named one of the 100 Best Places to Work in New Jersey for the second straight year, New Day was also selected one of the fastest growing, privately held entrepreneurial companies within the Philadelphia Region in both 2013 and 2014. Previous to this honor, the company was ranked second among all listed insurance companies and near the top 50 percent of New Jersey organizations in Inc. Magazine’s prestigious 2014 listing of the 5000 fastest-growing, privately-held companies in the United States.

The Best Places to Work in New Jersey program, created in 2005, was produced by NJBIZ in partnership with Garden State Council SHRM and the Employers Association of New Jersey. It was designed to identify, recognize and honor the top places of employment in New Jersey that benefit the state's economy. The two-part selection process consists of employee surveys and an evaluation of each company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics.
