The Downtown Timmins Business Improvement Association has again recognized PBL Insurance Limited as “Favourite Insurance Office” in their 2015 Readers’ Choice” awards.

President

I am pleased to announce that PBL Insurance Limited acquired Raymond Insurance effective September 1^st, 2015.

Raymond Insurance has grown from a small family firm to be one of the most successful and highly regarded insurance brokerages in Northeastern Ontario with their home office in Sudbury and satellite offices in Chelmsford, Val Caron, Sturgeon Falls and Timmins.  For well over a hundred years, Raymond has demonstrated a commitment to client service and their communities.

PBL Insurance Limited regards this as an excellent fit for both firms.  The addition of another strong presence in Sudbury and surrounding communities is another major step forward in PBL’s strategy of “expanding the footprint” to regional centres across the province.

This is an exciting time for us all, please join me in extending a warm welcome to our new team mates at Raymond Insurance.
