Andrew Agencies has agreed to acquire Saskatoon Insurance Agencies, a provider of motor licences issued on behalf of the Sask Auto Fund.

The transaction is anticipated to support Andrew Agencies to have 20 branches across Western Canada, including nine in Saskatchewan.

Under the terms of the transaction, owners of Saskatoon Insurance Agencies, Elva and Peter Bennett will retire, and the current Saskatoon staff will continue, while the existing product specialists from Andrew Agencies will support and complement the team.

Peter Bennett said: “It has been a pleasure serving our clients’ insurance needs for so many years. We had wanted to retire with the comfort of knowing we had found just the right fit for both our clients and our team – and we have done that with Andrew Agencies.”
