First Onsite opens new branch in Saint John
“Saint John is the hub and industrial centre of New Brunswick, and this location provides a strategic beachhead for our continued growth,” said First Onsite Atlantic regional vice president Darren Bezanson. “The new office also allows our team to better meet the demands of our customers and insurance partners, who have been keen on the company opening an office here for some time now.”
A release said that First Onsite has decades of emergency response planning, mitigation, and reconstruction experience in Atlantic Canada. This includes the company’s responses during Hurricanes Juan, Igor, Dorian, and Fiona. In September, First Onsite deployed a team to support relief and cleanup following Hurricane Fiona. Its crews worked hard to ensure that critical infrastructure was up and running. The company also conducted hundreds of restoration projects in the residential and commercial sectors, with many of them still underway.
“This team can jump into action for insurance partners, businesses, and homeowners wherever they need us to be,” explained Bezanson. “We help them prepare for, mitigate, and recover from any type of property loss – even with the magnitude of a catastrophic hurricane.”
In September, First Onsite formed a partnership with Alert Labs – a firm that offers real-time water monitoring solutions for flood detection and analytics. The partnership enables First Onsite to help its commercial clients proactively mitigate water damage caused by leaks, which will reduce the need for emergency repairs as well as the risk of disruptions to building services.
