“Ontario Insurance Network and McDougall operate the same way,” said Lorne McDougall, VP of McDougall Insurance. “We both succeed by focusing on our clients, our staff and our Canadian communities. People matter to both OIN and McDougall, and we are thrilled to welcome the OIN team to McDougall and support the next chapter of our combined growth.”
OIN President, Bryan McDermott, will remain with the organization post-transaction, while OIN Managing Partner, Scott McDermott, will focus on his passions outside of insurance after the transaction.
“As we looked at the future of OIN, it was important to find a partner that understood what mattered to us,” said Bryan “We have a commitment to our staff and our clients – and are excited that this move will enable them greater opportunities through McDougall’s scale. We are very excited about what this combination means for our clients, employees and communities.”
“We weren’t willing to entertain discussions like this with just anyone,” confirms Scott. “We needed to ensure our clients, communities and teams continue to have positive experiences as part of any transaction. I’m proud I get to cap off my time in insurance with such a great win for everyone involved.”
