Three Ontario brokerages owned by Gore—Noble Insurance, St. Clair and Jamieson-Hilts—will now operate under the Insurance Store banner in seven locations across the province.

“I’m very excited to take on the leadership of Insurance Store,” Dynes said. “These excellent brokerages have lots of potential for modernization and growth. As we continue to invest in technology, marketing and new solutions for our clients, I’m confident that Insurance Store will emerge as a new way for customers to engage with their insurance products.”
