Lloyd Sadd Navacord
For Gavin Benson, going beyond his capabilities to personally reach and help every client has always been a priority. As long as they need him, he’s always on his way. “I’ve never been afraid of travel and get on the road. I am based in Edmonton but have built relationships with clients across Western Canada because what we do isn’t just applicable to clients in our own backyard,” he says. “Our capabilities extend across the country and if you’re willing to engage with me, I’m willing to travel to help you out.”
Named as the youngest partner in Lloyd Sadd’s history, Benson vowed to “never be outworked” as he rapidly catapulted the company into one of Alberta’s leading insurance providers for service contractors. Armed with his dedication to improve the energy, resources and infrastructure practice, Benson joined Lloyd Sadd in 2013 and gradually climbed the company’s ranks.
One of Benson’s key strategies in growing his book of business is constant transparency with clients. “I’ve always told my clients, ‘good, bad, or ugly, you’ll always get the straight truth from me.’ When your relationship with clients is open and trusted, the hard conversations become easier when you don’t sugar coat it.”
