Rogers Insurance enters Ontario

Rogers Insurance in Calgary has entered the Ontario market.

It has acquired a controlling interest in CCV Insurance & Financial Services, with locations in Brampton, Georgetown and Huntsville, Ont.

CCV partner Brian Evans will become president and a significant shareholder. Another CCV partner, Robert Lewis, will remain a shareholder and serve as director of insurance distribution.

The acquisition, says Rogers COO Bruce Rabik, is part of the company’s plan to expand throughout Canada and allow brokerage owners “to sell to an independent Canadian brokerage.”

The Rogers Insurance group of companies writes roughly $300 million in premiums each year.
