RHC McDonald Curriers Insurance continues to evolve. Since buying Curriers Insurance Agencies two years ago, the company has added 12 employees, expanded its office space and connected all of its staff through one computer network.

People will also notice a new logo and slimmed-down name—RHC Insurance Brokers. In addition, RHC has started RHC Financial Services Ltd. to complement its existing insurance products. Alberta transplant Robert Logue heads up RHC Financial Services Ltd. with a full range of financial products and services. These include life and mortgage insurance, single and group disability, critical illness insurance, guaranteed investments, RRSPs, GICs, RRIFs, long-term health care plans, post-retirement planning and medical insurance. Robert has more than 20 years in the financial services business and is a great addition to the staff.

The company’s larger staff allows RHC Insurance Brokers to specialize in a greater number of general insurance products. These products include business insurance, homeowners, rental and seasonal dwellings, course of construction, boat insurance and auto insurance.

RHC Insurance Brokers co-owner Stuart McDonald said there are other benefits for clients, including access to an excellent market through a contract with Lloyd’s of London, as well as a top-rated pleasure boat insurance program through Axa Pacific, one of British Columbia’s largest boat insurers.

Through Lloyd’s of London, RHC Insurance Brokers determines risk, which means they have a lot of flexibility in setting rates. This could mean a possible 40 per cent savings on your policy, according to the company.

RHC Insurance Brokers also does the underwriting for most of its insurers, which means clients receive immediate approvals and their coverage is tailored to the specific needs of the Kootenays.

One thing that hasn’t changed at RHC Insurance Brokers is the service its staff provides. With a guarantee to find the best value for their clients, the staff is constantly searching for a better product at a better price. No-obligation quotes are always available at RHC Insurance.

"Now we are better positioned to offer our clients an even greater selection of insurance products and services than ever before," says McDonald.

RHC Insurance Brokers has six offices throughout the West Kootenay.
