CARLYLE
Andrew Agencies was established in 1913 and was one of the largest and most respected full-service insurance and financial services firms in the Prairies.
They had 12 locations in Manitoba, nine in Saskatchewan and one in Alberta. Over the years, Andrew Agencies has offered innovative insurance solutions with its professional service for agricultural and farm insurance, as well as small-to-medium-sized businesses, homeowners and auto insurance.
On July 14, 2023, Westland acquired Andrew Agencies, including all 22 locations. Westland was established in 1980 and is based in Surrey, B.C.
Over the past 40 years it has grown to be the largest independent, Canadian-owned brokerage across Canada.
Westland Insurance brand manager Alex Harms said this acquisition will allow Westland to provide even more access to great insurance products, claims support and competitive pricing.
Westland is a leader in property and casualty insurance industry, focusing on home, auto and business insurance. Plus, the company has a large network of insurers which means they always get great rates and options. They go above and beyond to get the best coverage for all their clients.
With 3,000 employees and 300 locations across Canada, the business maintains their focus on their people, clients and community. They have worked hard to provide Canadians with coverage that goes further.
Covering personal to business insurance, their expert advisors do the work to make recommendations that fit the clients' life.
In Carlyle on Dec. 4, Andrew Agencies was updated to the Westland name and brand, but the great service will remain the same as the staff they have will stay in place.
The employees look forward to offering the best solutions for their clients as they did before, now under the Westland name.
