INTEGRIS INSURANCE SERVICES LTD. TO ACQUIRE ADVANTAGE INSURANCE SERVICES LTD.
McBride, BC – Integris Insurance Services Ltd. is pleased to announce that we have acquired a new brokerage. Advantage Insurance Services Ltd. located in McBride, will become the newest Integris Insurance Services Ltd. office and our sixth office in north central BC.
Advantage Insurance Services has served the community of McBride for 27 years offering auto, personal, and commercial insurance lines with Rosemary Hruby at the helm. The incredible team from Advantage Insurance including Rosemary Hruby, Mary Hooker, Linda Monroe, and Rose Lucius will stay on with Integris Insurance serving our new and existing clients.
Rosemary, knowing retirement was in her near future, knew that it was important to find the right purchase for Advantage Insurance. She wanted a company that was community minded and would continue her legacy. That’s where Integris comes in – “We are founded on the cooperative principles, and supporting community and the local economy is something Integris has a 75 year history of doing and doing well. We are so excited to welcome McBride to our Integris service region,” says CEO, Alison Hoskins.
“We are committed to providing exceptional customer service and ensuring that you have the coverage you need to protect what matters most to you” said Kevin Gull, Senior Manager, Integris Insurance Services. “We look forward to continuing to serve the clients in McBride with our insurance offering and introduce them to the full service offering of banking, borrowing, and investing with our parent company, Integris Credit Union.”
Over the next two months, residents of McBride will see some small changes in terms of branding and signage as Advantage turns into Integris Insurance; however, the location hours and the personalized insurance solutions that have met your unique needs over the years will continue to be offered by our experienced team of professionals.
