Matthew Leishman Appointed Branch Manager in Burlington
Ontario’s local insurance brokerage, Gifford Carr Insurance Group, announced today the appointment of Matthew Leishman, as Branch Manager of its Burlington office. Bringing nearly a decade of experience in the insurance industry, Leishman will be responsible for executing on the strategic growth blueprint for Burlington and the surrounding areas, developing our local team and continuing to preserve Gifford Carr’s core values while building new relationships in the region.
Leishman is a seasoned professional with a vast range of knowledge in both personal and business insurance solutions. He is passionate about continued learning and is effective at building customized risk management and insurance options tailored to the unique needs of his clients. His ultimate objective is to enable his clients to focus on their goals, their business, and their priorities, with the peace of mind that what matters most to them is protected.
“Matt’s desire for growth fits perfectly with what we are trying to accomplish across the province” says Matthew Carr, President of Gifford Carr Insurance Group. “We are confident in his abilities to lead our team and achieve our collective goals.”
“I believe that when you and the organization have similar goals, the process of bringing it to fruition is more transparent, and seamless.” says Leishman. “Matt, Monica and Steve have mentored me to be where I am now. With my roots in the local Stoney Creek/Burlington community, we are looking to build, modernize and cater new opportunities in Burlington and to get back to the business of people and customer service.
Covid impacted all organizations differently and I believe Gifford Carr reacted to both clients and employees needs with the right frame of mind. People first. To me, this is what makes it a team you want to work with.”
Working in both business and personal lines, Leishman truly understands the needs of our clients and the complexities of insurance on both sides of the business. He provides a valuable resource to our growing team in Burlington to support the local community.
Mindful of the impact on local businesses across Ontario over the past few years, the team at Gifford Carr Insurance Group is committed to nurturing existing client relationships, while tapping into new markets, and developing insurance innovations to better serve its customers.
