NANAIMO – When Megson FitzPatrick Insurance Services opened its Nanaimo office in May, it opened up a world of competitive insurance options for local businesses.
Megson FitzPatrick is one of the fastest-growing, independent insurance brokerages on Vancouver Island and, as a member of the Rogers Insurance Group of Companies, has access to more than 100 global insurers and specialty underwriting facilities.
“Our team is here to serve the people of Nanaimo with their business and personal insurance needs,” said Laura Bolster, Megson FitzPatrick President and Chief Operations Officer. “Megson FitzPatrick is island grown with global power and expertise. We’re pleased to provide a local option for your business to secure comprehensive and competitive coverage.”
While the brokerage protects businesses of every size, Megson FitzPatrick specializes in serving small to medium enterprises. This makes the company an ideal match for the Nanaimo business community that, according to the local Chamber of Commerce, is primarily comprised of small to medium sized companies.
“We know what it’s like to start and grow a business on Vancouver Island—we’ve experienced the unique opportunities and challenges ourselves,” said Bolster. “We had four employees when we started Megson FitzPatrick in Victoria more than 50 years ago. Today, we have a team of 115 across the island, and many more across Canada, who provide innovative insurance solutions and risk management advice to protect what you’ve worked hard to achieve.”
Well-Connected Independence
As member of the Rogers Insurance Group of Companies, the Megson FitzPatrick team has access to a vast network of insurance experts and providers across the country and world.
As an independent brokerage, Megson FitzPatrick can compare across the entire market to provide businesses with the best coverages and rates.
“Our independence and global market access are your advantage,” said Bolster.
Community Champions
In addition to providing exceptional support to its clients, part of Megson FitzPatrick’s mission is to improve lives within the communities it serves.
Over the years, the team has worked with numerous organizations to support initiatives that respond to food and housing insecurity, diverse developmental disabilities, cancer, and children’s health and wellbeing.
“We look forward to meeting Nanaimo residents and supporting local initiatives that benefit the people who call this great community home,” said Bolster.
Megson FitzPatrick’s 50-year history is firmly rooted on Vancouver Island and the Nanaimo location is its first office outside of the greater Victoria area.
