Intact Public Entities continues its unmatched
history and expertise working with municipal and community service
organizations across Canada.
TORONTO, April 27, 2021 /CNW/ - Intact Financial
Corporation (TSX: IFC) officially introduces Intact Public Entities
Inc., a Canadian Managing General Agent (MGA), formerly operating
as Frank Cowan Company Limited, following its acquisition in
December, 2019. Intact Public Entities' clients, brokers and
partners will continue to work with the same team, have access to
the same insurance program and value-added services that they have
trusted for over nine decades.
Rebranding Frank Cowan Company as Intact Public Entities and
leveraging the Managing General Agent distribution channel provides
new opportunities for clients and brokers as the two organizations
look to deepen their collective expertise. These opportunities
include new product and coverage availability and development,
access to data and technology and a focus on important social
impact pillars such as climate change.
"The MGA distribution channel presents a strategic opportunity
for Intact to deliver on its promise to build a leading North
American specialty insurer. The rebrand of Intact Public Entities
represents progress in achieving this goal," said Pete Weightman, SVP & Chief Underwriting
Officer - Specialty Solutions, North
America.
Public entity clients value products and services that respond
to their unique concerns, timely and knowledgeable customer
service, access to a team of experts and assurance of stability
proven by decades of delivering a leading insurance program. As
Intact Public Entities becomes further integrated with the Intact
brand, clients and brokers will benefit from a wide range of
enhancements that further enable the organization to demonstrate
its commitment and dedication to the public entity sector.
"We are very excited to share our rebrand which solidifies our
position as a proud member of the Intact family. This is a new
chapter in the company's esteemed nine-decade history. The future
is very bright and clients who have placed their trust in our
organization can be assured that we will continue to deliver the
same renowned expertise," says Larry
Ryan, President, Intact Public Entities.
Intact Public Entities, now located at a new head office
location in Cambridge, Ontario,
provides leading insurance programs including risk and claims
management services to municipal, public administration and
community service organizations across Canada. The rebranding will be introduced
publicly over the course of the next few weeks.
