About Ives Insurance
From its roots in the farming community of Essex, Ontario, Ives Insurance grew into a trusted brokerage serving individuals, families and businesses across the region. Founded by Jerry Ives in 1966, the company expanded throughout Southwestern Ontario and into Kitchener-Waterloo, welcoming Roth Nowak Insurance Brokers, Nuernberger & Scott Ltd., Will Insurance Brokers Ltd. and Durocher & Trepanier Ltd. along the way.
Through every stage of that growth, one principle remained central: take the time to understand what matters to each client. Ives brokers paired attentive, personal service with practical advice, helping clients choose coverage suited to their homes, vehicles, businesses and evolving needs.
That client-first approach was supported by broad commercial capabilities and specialized expertise in transportation and logistics. From owner-operators and trucking firms to organizations of all sizes, clients gained access to tailored solutions and specialized insurance markets. Today, Ives Insurance’s local knowledge, trusted relationships and commitment to service continue under the Navacord brand.
