The Importance of Education
Very early in my career, I had a conversation with my boss about my future. I was young and keen with my work, but he imparted the most valuable piece of advice I ever received: “The best way to move forward in your career is by furthering your education.”

Anxious Anticipation
I have spoken before about the current state of the insurance industry and the challenges both insurers and brokers are facing. We continue to believe strongly in the health of this industry and all of its stakeholders. We continue to meet with Government and are anxiously watching to see what changes may come from the automobile insurance review conducted this year in Nova Scotia, or as part of political platforms in the 2020 elections.

Bridges to Community Canda
This year, Pembridge is continuing its commitment to Bridges to Community Canada (BTCC), a charitable organization that builds homes for families who are in critical need of improved living conditions. Our past work has been around improving the lives of rural community residents in Nicaragua, and last year in the Dominican Republic, by building sturdy houses for families who have never known a home without a muddy floor or that can sustain volatile weather.

Pembridge Staff Recognized for Outstanding Service
Brokers have told us on numerous occasions that you are very happy with the service you receive from our Atlantic Underwriting and Sales team. We always appreciate hearing positive feedback about our people. Pembridge was thrilled to learn that four members of our Atlantic team were nominated for their outstanding service and contributions.
Important | Discontinuation of HITS Reports
In October 2017, we communicated that we would no longer require HITS reports to be ordered and submitted with Property New Business applications.
Some insurers have stopped submitting claims data for HITS. Effective June 15, 2019, Pembridge will also cease submitting our claim information. With this change, HITS reports can no longer be ordered for Pembridge.
As a reminder, ensuring that all claims are disclosed on new applications is an imperative step in ensuring we offer the right price and coverage to your customers.
