Winnipeg, Manitoba — Avant Insurance Brokers Ltd. announced that it has been named to Insurance Business Canada’s 5-star brokers. Avant Insurance is the only Manitoba based brokerage named to the list. Insurance Business Canada is the leading insurance-focused magazine with more than 80,000 monthly visitors across the globe.

To select Canada’s 5-Star Brokerages for 2021, Insurance Business Canada sourced feedback from insurance brokerages and their clients over a period of 15 weeks. IBC’s research team began by asking brokers and their clients across the country to nominate the brokerages they felt were most deserving of recognition. The team also spoke with leading risk managers in Canada, asking them to name the top brokerages they work with.

The in-depth information gathered enabled the research team to assign weighted values to each area of brokerage service. Winners were also judged based on the strength of their individual nominations. At the end of the research period, the brokerages that received the highest rankings in terms of work quality, specialist expertise and client service were named 5-Star Brokerages.

“It is because our staff have done such a great job of servicing clients that we earned this.” Said President & CEO Cole Leitch, “This is probably the most important award we have received to date because it was voted on by clients and is a direct testament to how everyone on our team is committed to service. It continues to show the insurance world that we started Avant for the right reasons and continue to operate Avant with those values. I’m very proud to be part of the team earning these types of accolades.”
