Director, managing partner
WILSON M. BECK INSURANCE SERVICES
After studying economics in college, Brent Williams was recruited into the insurance industry by a forestry-focused office in Prince George, British Columbia. He spent six years with a major commercial insurance brokerage, specializing in oil and gas, forestry, and construction risks. In 2011, he got the opportunity to join Wilson M. Beck and help establish an office in Calgary.
“The biggest and most rewarding challenge was overcoming the dive into the large Calgary market,” Williams says. “I was brand new to the city, the smallest broker in town, and we clawed our way up to become a player in the competitive market we are currently in. That’s been incredibly fulfilling. I’d consider our success to be a result of persistence and hard work. Being competitive by nature has certainly helped, and having a fantastic support system in my business partners has been a huge ingredient in our success.”
Passionate about his clients’ industries, Williams is a member of the Alberta Sand & Gravel Association, the Calgary Construction Association and the Alberta Road Builders & Heavy Construction Association.
