Westland Insurance Group has acquired two more brokerages in Alberta – Ironside Insurance Brokers in Carstairs, and G&E Insurance in Picture Butte.
Both acquisitions, effective October 01, 2020, support Westland’s expansion strategy to serve more communities in Alberta and across Canada, a company release said.
Westland also announced that with the closure of both acquisitions, it would add two branches and 19 employees to its Alberta operation. In total, the company will have more than 1,500 employees and 131 offices, across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.
Ironside Insurance Brokers is a family-owned brokerage that provides residential, auto, life, travel, recreation, farm, and commercia insurance.
G&E Insurance has been in business for more than 35 years. The firm’s advisors offer residential, auto, travel, recreation, farm, and commercial insurance.
Last month, Westland acquired the insurance brokerage business of Innovation Credit Union, a credit union based in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. That transaction was Westland’s second in Saskatchewan, adding five branches and 36 employees to its fold.
