By Mika Pangilinan

Navacord is expanding its presence in Southwestern Ontario through a new partnership with Ives Insurance, one of its broker partners.

The move welcomes Josh Lazarus, alongside his team from All-Risks Insurance Essex, into Ives Insurance.

Josh Lazarus is a third-generation insurance broker with experience in personal and commercial insurance lines. His team at All-Risks Insurance Essex is known within the region for their ability to provide custom risk management solutions.

Lazarus commented on the partnership and said they are eager to collaborate with Navacord and Ives Insurance.

He also referred to the partnership as an opportunity to “reinforce our commitment to client excellence and unmatched standards of service across Essex and the rest of Southwestern Ontario.”

Jeff Ives, president of Ives Insurance Brokers, emphasized the partnership’s role in promoting shared growth and success.

“Our collaboration with Josh and the intention for his team to grow under Ives Insurance represents a positive move for our industry expertise and presence in Southwestern Ontario,” Ives said.

Ives Insurance operates several branches across Southwestern Ontario. Its partnership with Lazarus and his team marks Navacord’s third deal of the year.

In late February, Navacord snapped up Winnipeg-based Avant Insurance as part of a move to expand its footprint in Manitoba.
