Thomas Petway IV, son of the founder and chairman of Zurich Insurance Services, took over as company CEO on June 1, 2005, after being groomed for the position for several years. Steven Peeters was named President in 2006.
The Petways donated $1 million to the Jacksonville Zoo's Range of the Jaguar exhibit. The source of the gift was both Zurich Insurance Services and the Petway Family Foundation. The money was earmarked for the Emerald Forest, which houses the majority of animals, including birds, reptiles and mammals, in the new exhibit. The Petways also gave a $1 million gift to the faith-based organization FreshMinistries, a Jacksonville-based group that works to eradicate poverty, improve race relations and build stronger communities. The family personally worked with the organization for more than five years and that they respect the work it does. Mrs. Petway has been on the organization's board since 2001.
