TILLSONBURG, ONTARIO
Coming in right behind Gillian Van Kempen in both biggest book of business and most policies written is Mike O’Grady, owner of O’Grady & Associates Insurance Services. With 37 years of experience, the P&C specialist has a reputation for putting his customers first.
“Our motto, ‘Knowledge and service you can count on,’ says it,” O’Grady says. “Clients are first and foremost. As there is so much misinformation and few know anything about insurance, sharing of knowledge is essential.”
O’Grady isn’t stingy in sharing that knowledge; in the past year or so, he’s mentored three young brokers from other brokerages. “They feel they’re now in university, and I’m honoured to be their professor,” he says.
And even after nearly four decades in the industry, O’Grady says he’s still learning.
“Whether it’s staff, clients or company people, we all need to learn every day – and be humble and open-minded enough to be taught,” he says.
