June 6, 2018 /insPRESS/ – After many years in the construction and restoration industries, Marc Bourret launched Bourret Appraisal in 2000. As a family-owned business, they grew due to their professionalism and integrity. Eighteen years later, Bourret Appraisal is known by the Insurance industry for providing trusted and impartial post-loss property appraisal services at the right time and right cost.
Their discerning customers have come to rely on Marc Bourret and his appraisers, and have helped fuel the demand for faster growth. The company has rebranded to reflect its intention to expand rapidly through acquisition and creation of new divisions and services. Today, they are privately owned by several partners and proudly announce Bourret Appraisal is now MBC Group Ltd. (MBC).
“Customer demand propels our growth, and that demand is a result of years of providing accurate, timely, and impartial services.”, says Marc Bourret, President and CEO of MBC Group Ltd. “Even though our company is expanding, our approach to providing post-loss appraisal services with integrity will remain the same,” he adds. With the business name change comes a new logo and website (www.mbc-group.ca).
Today, MBC Group also announces the acquisition of Claim Assist. Claim Assist, established in 2015, is a trusted provider of small post-loss appraisal, ladder assistance, mediation services, and industry education across Canada. Claim Assist is well-known for the industry-leading training they provide appraisers and adjusters.
