City insurance, financial firms merge
A big financial development last week as Park Place Financial and Terry Windrem Insurance Agencies announced a merger.
The three principals are Terry Windrem, Mike D’Alessandro and Darrel Wade, with Windrem becoming President and CEO of Park Place Financial.
And if you’ve been wondering what is happening with the former Rolands Restaurant location on Highway 7 East, well now you know!
The two teams will be merging and relocating into the newly renovated and refurbished building. The focus of the firm will continue to be financial, succession and business planning for motivated professionals, entrepreneurs and high net worth clients. Parkplacefinancial.ca
