#GillonsVolunteers
Welcome to our fall 2017 edition of Gillons Insurance Risk & Business
Magazine. With all the confusion we are seeing today via aggressive TV
ads and online insurance options, I felt it was appropriate to outline our
offerings at Gillons.
As a Northern Ontario insurance brokerage, we specialize in all classes
associated with Business Insurance as well as Home and Auto Insurance
for individuals and groups. The many “Northern lifestyle” needs associated
with these classes of insurance, such as boats, ATVs, and snowmobiles, also
form part of our expertise. There isn’t anything we can’t provide coverage
for.
Today’s insurance advertisements are cluttered with direct-writing
insurance options, all of which are trying to earn your business. These
companies often represent one company with one product offering and no
ties to the communities they live in. They focus on price with no form of
local service.
As a Northern Ontario business, we live and work in your communities
and employ your community members. We support your communities
through various financial donations and our staff offer countless vo lunteer
hours. We are proud to support our communities, and we know our
contributions help keep them strong.
We also know our success is based on your satisfaction with coverage
options, price, and service. With many busy lifestyles out there today, we
continually strive to make your insurance-buying experience easy and
convenient. We encourage you to access us whenever and however you
want. Please feel free to call, email, text, access us online, or visit us in
person anytime. As independent insurance brokers, we are here to work
for you. We are not an insurance company like the direct writers.
It is in our interest to understand your needs, source competitive pricing
from several insurance companies, and include you in the process of
selecting products and pricing. Our team of insurance professionals are
well educated on the emerging needs of Northern customers and are
always happy to discuss insurance options versus hard-price options. We
are also here to give you objective advice in the event of a claim.
In closing, when it comes to insurance, there is no question too basic. Don’t
be afraid to reach out to our staff and ask any question you may have or,
if there is anything you don’t understand, we want you to ask us. We are
committed to operating our business in the north, and we are always here
to help you!
Sincerely,

Myron Romaniuk, President & CEO
