Principal broker and president
Reith & Associates Insurance and Financial Services
This year marks family owned Reith & Associates 105th year in the business and it is where Dan Reith serves as principal broker. Armed with a CAIB designation and Certificate in Risk Management from the Insurance Institute of America, Reith’s practice focuses on SME’s and the families that own them. In 2016, Reith authored and published his first book, Home Insurance Simplified, to help consumers purchase the right home insurance policy. This year, Reith is in the midst of a 10-times growth plan, and in spite of a hard market, he sees considerable growth opportunities today: “The strategy is simple,” he says, “first and foremost, retention. We have a strict retention program that continues to yield excellent results. Second, new business development for which we have been very strategic in developing a list of prospects who have been researched and identified to be a ‘right-fit’ for both the brokerage and our markets.”
Outside of his brokerage, Reith has been involved with many local community groups and continues to pursue his interest in politics serving on the board of the EML Provincial PC Riding Association and as campaign manager/advisor to EML MPP Jeff Yurek. In addition, since 2003, Reith has volunteered with Rogers TV serving as host and moderator of In The Know, a local political and business talk show.
