Ontario-based insurance brokerage Gifford Carr Insurance Group has appointed Matthew Leishman (pictured) as branch manager of the company’s office in Burlington.
With nearly a decade of insurance industry experience under his belt, Leishman will be responsible for executing the growth strategies of the Burlington office and building new relationships in the region while keeping Gifford Carr’s core values, the brokerage said.
Prior to joining Gifford Carr in 2017, Leishman served as an insurance advisor with BrokerLink for over three years. He was also previously associated with Pentagon-Raymond Insurance Brokers.
“Matt’s desire for growth fits perfectly with what we are trying to accomplish across the province,” said Gifford Carr president Matthew Carr. “We are confident in his abilities to lead our team and achieve our collective goals.”
“I believe that when you and the organization have similar goals, the process of bringing it to fruition is more transparent, and seamless,” commented Leishman on his appointment, adding that he has been mentored by Carr, as well as brokerage partners Steve Montcalm and Monica Dale. “With my roots in the local Stoney Creek/Burlington community, we are looking to build, modernize and cater new opportunities in Burlington and to get back to the business of people and customer service.”
