Having built its reputation as the leader in auto insurance and leasing for high-end dealerships, Allwest’s expertise also spans home insurance, particularly among high-net worth clientele across West Vancouver, as well as best-in-class commercial solutions for small- to medium-sized businesses.

With Navacord’s national backing and shared resources, Allwest will have access to greater business opportunities, and the ability to provide enhanced risk solutions and products to meet their customers needs. “Navacord provides an ideal platform for the development of our team, clients, and business,” says James Beaulieu, Chief Operating Officer, Allwest Insurance. “They share our vision and provide a collaborative model that enhances what we’ve built within our market while providing the resources to go even further.”

We are excited about what this new partnership with Navacord will bring to Allwest’s employees and customers.” “Allwest is a great example of like-minded brokers who wish to partner with a national organization such as Navacord, where they can continue to build out their service offerings in order to help clients grow with them,” says Shawn DeSantis, President and CEO, Navacord.
