Jones Brown is a Canadian-owned insurance brokerage and consulting company incorporated in 1997. We were founded at a time when traditional distribution channels had begun to erode and, as a consequence, insurance buyers were faced with the prospect of diminishing service and the breakdown of longstanding relationships. We believed at that time that the mega-mergers of the large brokers, the rush of the smaller brokers to join publicly financed 'pools' and the intrusion of other financial institutions into the business of insurance created an industry-wide distraction from client focus. Time has shown that our beliefs were well-founded, and the need for our specialized services to fill the void has grown considerably. An underlying principle of our business plan is to develop and maintain close and long-term client relationships. By avoiding unnecessary layers of administration we can be more immediately available to our clients. Our approach is basic and effective; when a relationship with a new client is established, the first thing we do is determine their exposures to financial risk. A program is then developed to manage the risk, and provide insurance if and when required. We take pride in being innovative, and the program we develop may be a refinement of the current one or, if warranted, a total departure. Either way, the result will be practical and cost-effective for the client. At Jones Brown, our experienced professionals take pride in developing close, long term relationships with our clients, and in providing them with maximum value for every dollar spent to protect them from loss.
