Cambridge, ON: Collectivfide Insurance Group Inc. is pleased to announce Miller Insurance Brokers as its newest broker partner in the Collectivfide network. With seven office locations throughout southwestern Ontario, this marks Collectivfide's fourteenth overall broker partner, and largest acquisition into the network.
Miller Insurance Brokers has proudly celebrated 125 years of servicing Grey, Bruce, Huron, Perth, and Wellington counties. Starting in 1899 as the Jackson Bros. Agency, the brokerage has operated under Miller Insurance brand since 1985 and has grown to support over 50 employees. Miller Insurance Brokers specializes in personal, commercial, and agriculture coverage, and believes in giving back to their local communities to make them a better place. Keeping these strong community roots in mind, Miller Insurance Brokers was adamant about finding a partner that understood the value of community and had it woven in as part of the core pillars of their value proposition. Hence, the partnership with Collectivfide Insurance Group began.
“When we started the process of looking for a partner for our brokerage, we did so with an abundance of caution as our employees and communities are very important to us, and we wanted to ensure that they would continue to be well supported,” stated Todd Farrell, President of Miller Insurance.
Todd continued, "We have a strong Mutual background, and we had this in mind while balancing the need to push our brokerage forward to remain competitive in the market. Miller Insurance has always been about putting our clients and communities first, and Collectivfide Insurance Group was the answer we were looking for. Joining forces allows us to continue delivering on that promise as they perfectly fit our core values and long-term goals".
Collectivfide Insurance Group, an innovative network of P&C insurance brokerages, was pleased when Miller Insurance selected the group as their preferred partner. "We are thrilled to welcome Miller Insurance into the Collectivfide network. Miller is quite unique within the brokerage landscape as few brokerages have the size and scope that Miller possesses," said Tony Ngo, president and CEO at Collectivfide.
Tony Ngo continued, "Their dedication to exceptional client service, deep-rooted industry knowledge and alignment with the values of Mutuals make them ideal for Collectivfide, as we continue to support our brokerages with HR, access to markets, marketing, and additional back-end resources. As we know, the landscape is changing and is more competitive than ever before, and we value providing the services brokers need so they can focus on their clients".
Miller Insurance Brokers joining Collectivfide Insurance Group is a milestone for the Mutual-backed organization as this acquisition is the largest for the company and reflects Collectivfide’s commitment to strengthening the broker distribution channel by partnering with brokers that share its core values. Acquisitions and organic growth remain key to Collectivfide Insurance Group's long-term strategy while further aligning itself with other like-minded broker partners.
