Personal Insurance

At Wedgwood Insurance, our philosophy is simple. It’s all about you. Your home and belongings are central to all that you do, and we’ll make sure that everything you value is protected. Whether you need coverage for your home, vehicles, or valuables, or you simply need a personal umbrella policy, we will customize an insurance policy that is tailored to meet your needs. You’ll find that Wedgwood’s customers are a happy bunch.

All Wedgwood customers are assigned a Personal Account Manager to protect and take care of what matters most. Your Account Manager will help you understand your policy and make sure you have the right protection. When was the last time you got proactive contact from your current provider? We are not a call center located thousands of miles away, we are part of your community. We have offices in St. John’s in the east, and Corner Brook in the west, as well as staff in various communities throughout the province.

Commercial Insurance

Our commercial insurance solutions can protect businesses from sole proprietors all the way up to larger corporations. Commercial insurance cannot be sold as a one size fits all products. That’s why we have developed the RiskIQ™ system to help business owners map out the risk in their business and develop strategies to deal with it. With relationships with over 40 different insurers and Managing General Agents, we can find solutions for businesses of all sizes.

Our Commercial Insurance Consultants can help look at the common risks most businesses face. We can develop insurance programs for individual automobiles or fleets, commercial property and liability, and bonding. Our experts in construction can help insure larger projects including bonding, builders risk, and wrap-up liability.

For smaller businesses, we have products from many of Canada’s leading insurers that can help combine property, liability, and other coverages into easy-to-understand packages that provide very broad coverage at low premiums, helping eliminate the risk of gaps in your insurance coverage.

Newfoundland & Labrador’s Most Trusted Insurance Broker

Finding the right insurance can be a complicated purchase and it definitely requires more than 15 minutes of your time.  As Newfoundland & Labrador’s largest independent insurance brokerage, we can help. Before you rush to get a quote, ask yourself these four things:
  • Is this policy tailored to me?
  • Do I understand all the fine print?
  • Is there anything I missed?
  • Did I get the best price?
As an independent insurance broker, we work for you, not the insurance company – giving you the power of choice. Put our experience and expertise to work for you as your personal advisor.

We represent many different insurance companies

As Newfoundland & Labrador's largest independent insurance brokerage, we represent many different insurance companies which offer a wide variety of coverage options and price points. With our connections and knowledge of the market, we can often find a better value for your insurance dollar than you might find searching on your own. We do the shopping, you do the saving. In the end you get the right blend of price, coverage and service.

We are licensed insurance advisors

Our licensed insurance advisors know insurance and can explain the complexities of insurance in simple terms, helping you make smart decisions. Above all, they make a career out of assessing each client’s unique insurance needs and matching them with the insurance company best equipped to meet those needs at a price that fits the budget.

We serve as your personal risk advisor and advocate

Our insurance brokers become your personal advisor and advocate, taking the time to listen to you and understand your individual needs. They know it’s not just about finding a price you can afford and that it’s also about making certain you are appropriately covered so that you don’t end up insurance-poor if you do suffer a loss. And, if you have a billing or claim concern, or need to change your coverage, they will serve as your advocate, working with the insurance company on your behalf.

We offer one-stop shopping

As an independent insurance brokerage, we can meet all of your insurance needs with the companies we represent, providing personal, business and employee benefits solutions under one roof. The best insurance for one person may not be the best for another – because everyone’s situation is different. We are committed to help you find the BEST insurance for YOU.
