Toronto, ON (July 25, 2022) – Navacord Corp. is pleased to announce their latest partnership with Binks Insurance Brokers Limited, headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, effective as of July 1, 2022.
Founded in 1918, the multigenerational commercial brokerage is known for their risk management expertise with automotive dealerships, among several other business sectors and not-for-profits in Eastern Ontario. As a community-first organization, Binks has successfully established their status as a trusted and committed brokerage for high-risk commercial placements within Ottawa and its surrounding areas.
