Largest Independent Insurance Brokerage in Canada Announces New Office in the Cambridge Corporate Centre
For Immediate Release
Canada's Technology Triangle, Waterloo Region, Ontario - April 21, 2010 - Jones DesLauriers Insurance Management Inc. (JDIMI), the largest independent insurance brokerage in Canada, is pleased to announce a new Western Ontario branch, situated in the Cambridge Corporate Centre which opened its doors in January 2010.
This new office is located in the Cambridge Corporate Centre, a 25 acre business park featuring a mix of office, prestige/flex industrial and hospitality sites. Located at 600 Jamieson Parkway, Cambridge, Ontario, the single storey "drive-up" building can be seen from Highway 401 at Townline Road.
"JDIMI is a wonderful addition to the project," said Darren Shaw, Vice President at DTZ Barnicke who is handling the leasing for the development. "We see the 'Highway 401 corridor' in Cambridge continuing to emerge as a strategic office node in the Region."
JDIMI has selected Cambridge as their new location due to its strategic placement in the heartland of southern Ontario, in Canada's Technology Triangle (CTT).
"The key was to find an innovative and well-situated community to consolidate the 3 branches of Guelph, Ayr and Stoney Creek into one,"
said Trevor Waldron, Manager, Western Ontario at JDIMI. "Cambridge is located right on the super highway, and is also part of a growing area for the manufacturing sector which is one of our specialties. We are very pleased to be part of the collaborative area of Waterloo Region."
Being located in the CTT makes this new location easily accessible and centralized for both existing and prospective clients in the Western Ontario region. The consolidation of the 3 offices has already begun to maximize the strength and presence of JDIMI in the local marketplace and continue to be a high performing brokerage in Western Ontario.
"We are delighted to welcome the team from Jones DesLauriers Insurance Management Inc. to Cambridge as they consolidate their Western Ontario operations here," said Cambridge Mayor, Doug Craig. "It's a wonderful opportunity for our community and a testament to the growth of the insurance and business services cluster here at the gateway to Canada's Technology Triangle."
The addition of JDIMI further enhances an evolving Business and Financial Services sector here in the Region. This is an opportunity to bring awareness to our area from all over the world.
"The establishment of JDIMI's regional office in Waterloo Region supports findings of a new study to be released soon by Canada's Technology Triangle," expressed Bill Elliot, Vice-President Business Development, Canada's Technology Triangle Inc. "The study indicates that our Region not only has a significant historical Business and Financial Services cluster, but one that is growing with opportunity for national and global prominence."
