Managing partner
BILLYARD INSURANCE GROUP
Irfan Shafqat has been in the insurance industry for almost a decade, starting in the home and auto advice centre at RBC in 2011. He learned the fundamentals of underwriting and selling insurance and, after a year, moved into field sales. From RBC, Shafqat headed to Allstate, where he continued to develop his networks and sales ability. In 2016, he was hired as a managing partner with All-Risks Insurance Brokers; a year later, he joined Billyard Insurance Group (BIG) in the same position. Since Shafqat came on board, BIG has grown from six employees to 33 and is focused on continued growth over the next several years.
“I am definitely proud of not only the growth of my office, but also of getting to witness some of the best talent in the industry,” Shafqat says. “I have worked with, and continue work with, those who are new to the industry and am very proud of developing a strong insurance workforce that has the main objective to strive for success."
