Western Financial expands in Saskatchewan

Western Financial Group (Western) has announced that Melfort Agencies Ltd. has joined its network of insurance brokerages effective Feb. 1, marking Western’s 23rd location in Saskatchewan.

“Joining Western Financial Group was the logical choice for me as I looked for ways to allow the office to grow and improve service to our customers and to Melfort,” Wes Moneta, owner of Melfort Agencies, noted in a statement.

Moneta will stay on to manage the newly integrated office. “We can now offer a much better selection of products and services and our office is part of an extensive network that stretches across western Canada,” he added. “We also will gain access to leading technology to help us in our work. This is a positive change both for our employees and our customers.”

Moneta purchased the business in 1974 with business partner Jim Doyle, and has been under his leadership since then. The office will continue to operate with the same friendly staff from its current location at 216 Main Street.

“We’re very happy to welcome Wes and his team to our growing Western network,” Scott Tannas, president and CEO of Western Financial Group commented in a statment. “We’re excited to be part of such a thriving community and you can count on us to be good neighbours as we grow in step with the city.”
