...we'd like to be considered BC's insurance brokerage. andrew Ilaender johnston meier executive

The BC Lions have always worked hard at being a team that represents every community in the province, and the people at the Johnston Meier Insurance Agencies Group think that’s a great way to do business. “It seems like we’re always growing and adding new offices around the province, and that’s because we’d like to be considered BC’s insurance brokerage. Ideally, we’d love to have an office in every community in the province,” says Johnston Meier executive Andrew Ilaender. “We have forty-three BC locations today and we’re adding more all the time.” Andrew, who’s a Lions season ticket holder and has followed the team all his life, likes the way the company he represents puts local concerns first. “We’ve been in business in the province since 1973. We’re locally owned and we employ over four hundred and seventy-five people in BC.” Just being local isn’t all you need to get it done. Johnston Meier has built up their exceptiona­lly loyal customer base through forty-three years of providing above-average service in every aspect of the insurance industry. “We really take customer service seriously,” confirms Andrew. “We do everything we can to streamline the process so our customers can get on with running their own businesses. Johnston Meier provides all types of insurance — Personal, Commercial, Marine, Pro-rate, and Mobile Road service to name a few. As well, we now have a realty department at one of our Coquitlam locations.” Johnston Meier Insurance Agencies Group is one of the major fullservic­e brokerage operations in British Columbia. They represent a number of leading Canadian and Internatio­nal insurance companies. By offering more choices, Johnston Meier is better equipped to provide the consumer with their optimal insurance solution in a way not always possible with smaller organizati­ons. “We can take care of all your personal and business-related insurance needs,” Andrew explains, “and our size and reach mean that you have twenty underwrite­rs to choose from, while a smaller company might only be able to offer you one. We are able to provide a complete package of services to our valued clientele.” Johnston Meier values their employees and considers them like family. It is important to JM that all staff continues to grow and expand their insurance knowledge with further education. They provide a safe environmen­t with the tools necessary to complete the job profession­ally. JM is very pleased to be a Draft a Lion Partner and a BC Lions Preferred Supplier for the 2016 Season.
