McDougall Insurance Brokers Limited (McDougall Insurance) announced today that they have merged operations with Duliban Insurance Brokers Limited and its sister firm Duliban Life & Benefits Inc. (together, “Duliban”), with offices across the Niagara and Haldimand regions, and are pleased to welcome Duliban’s industry-leading team to the McDougall family.
“If prior to this merger we were asked to list the best brokerages in Canada, Duliban would have been a name at the very top,” said Ross McDougall, CEO of McDougall Insurance. “Like us, they are a family business that puts their communities, staff and clients first. Their growth and strategy complements our own perfectly, and I have complete confidence that this merger elevates our combined operations to a whole new level.”
Principal Broker Jason Duliban will remain with Duliban in his current capacity while joining McDougall Insurance’s national leadership team, while Duliban’s other Principal Broker, Adam Duliban, will work with the firm through a transitory period, then focus on growing and managing other family assets. The Duliban brand will remain and will become a pivotal divisional brokerage of McDougall Insurance, while the Duliban family will become important shareholders of McDougall Insurance – signifying their confidence in the direction of the business and its success.
“The Duliban Insurance team are proud to have grown from a humble, small town beginning to a leader in the P&C distribution space,” says Jason Duliban, Principal Broker at Duliban. “This was a pivotal decision for our family business; we took the responsibilities we felt towards our team, clients, communities and history very seriously throughout this process. Ultimately, we knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to take our organization to a national level with partners we admire.”
“We are extremely excited about what this combined next chapter will mean for our team, communities, clients and the broader McDougall Insurance family,” added Adam Duliban, Principal Broker at Duliban. “Both Duliban and McDougall Insurance have a common history and focus, and we know this merger will allow us the ability to grow and strengthen our businesses and service offerings moving forward.”
