Bennett Insurance makes your life easier

We are tried-and-true insurance specialists

At Bennett Insurance, we are not run-of-the mill advisors.

We are specialists who live and breathe insurance.

In fact, every one of our advisors has at least 15 years in the industry.

As a result, you can rest assured you are getting the best solutions out there when you partner with Bennett.

We understand and anticipate your needs

We strive to ensure your experience is as smooth and efficient as possible.

As such, our approach to client service is all about you:

• Making sure you have the appropriate benefits and/or insurance you need, and identifying things you don’t need; and
• Anticipating your questions and concerns (we’ve been doing this a long time, so we’re quite proficient at it).

Ultimately, we take a proactive approach to how we work with clients—freeing up your time and energy to focus on all the other things you need to do.

We make things work

While we would all love perfection, every plan always has a hiccup or two. And that can be incredibly frustrating.

You may not have the time or expertise to fix the matter yourself and with Bennett Insurance, you have a partner in benefits.

Just give us a call—because if there’s a solution out there, we will find it for you.

We’re part of your team

Bennett Insurance is not just your insurance representative—we are your insurance advisor.

We see ourselves as an extension of your team—whether you are a team of many or a “team” of one.

And while we may not physically be at your workplace, we are still part of your organization.

We are always here for you. Because we want to see you succeed.

So let’s talk

100 years in the insurance industry

Not many families can say they’ve spent a century in a particular industry!

The Bennetts can.

Our family’s deep-rooted love for insurance started more than 100 years ago.

Our history
A family-owned business with deep roots in the insurance industry

It all began with Robert Austin Bennett. In 1918, Robert took a job as an insurance advisor with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (Met Life). Over time, he became a widely respected industry expert.

Robert Austin transferred his skills to his son, Claude Bennett Sr., who eventually found himself performing actuary duties at Metropolitan Life.

Claude went on to have six sons. And in the mid-1970s, Claude’s second-youngest son, Thom, founded the Bennett Insurance Agency.

Honesty, integrity, and educating clients

When Thom first established Bennett Insurance, he filled a niche for a knowledgeable, service-oriented employee benefits consultancy in Ottawa.

Over the years, he shaped an insurance sales culture based on three main qualities: honesty, integrity, and client education.

Ultimately, Thom wanted to ensure his clients were not only getting the best coverage to fit their unique circumstances—but that they knew they were getting the best.

As such, Thom has built Bennett Insurance to focus on educating clients, so clients can confidently:

• Understand the mechanics of their insurance products, and
• Use those products to their maximum benefit.

Bennett Insurance today

In case you’re wondering, the Bennett insurance legacy hasn’t stopped with Thom.

Today, Thom works alongside his son, Shane, who serves as the brokerage’s vice president.

The values that Bennett Insurance first held are continuing down the line, also extending to the company’s hiring policy. We put a lot of rigor and research into the vetting process for each of our employees—ensuring they also hold our company and personal values.

And so, the Bennett insurance legacy lives on.
