“Jones DesLauriers has been our insurance broker in excess of eight (8) years… Their representatives are very knowledgeable and understanding of our insurance requirements and are very responsive on a timely basis. They provide feedback and recommendations on the most cost effective way to protect our investments.”

—Vice President, Agellan Capital Partners Inc.

“This letter confirms the excellent service recently provided by Michelle Thorpe and the JDIMI team. They have consistently advocated for this and have earned my trust. Words cannot adequately describe their dedication to ensuring all stake holders (namely the adjuster and insurer) within the process are accountable to the best interest of the client (me). Business hours do not exist in disasters – the JDIMI team was available and on call 24/7 as required. I am also tremendously grateful for the excellent policy designed by JDIMI. As a result of this, my focus has been getting the business up and running without added stress of an under insured or poorly written policy.”

—Kevin Sandler, President, ISA International

“From the start, we knew we could trust them to solve our insurance challenges – they provided us with great options to increase our coverage and reduce our costs. Their pricing is consistently competitive and their 24 hour claims assistance is second to none.

I would not hesitate to recommend Jones DesLauriers to other companies and associates.”

—President, Interstate Freight Systems Inc.

“The benefit of [working with] Jones DesLauriers is more direct involvement with [the] senior broker responsible for the account… the perceived advantage that a large [global] broker has in obtaining favourable pricing is largely unfounded.

We have spoken to six clients of Jones DesLauriers as part of reference checks… All referred to specific things that Jones DesLauriers had done in terms of solving an issue that precipitated their move to Jones or in identifying other beneficial changes to their program that had not previously been identified.”
