Welcome Cornell Insurance to the Team!

We are thrilled to announce that we have combined with Cornell Insurance Brokers Ltd. based in Markham, Ontario. The merger is official as of Dec. 2nd, 2024.

Cornell is a great insurance brokerage with over 50 staff, located at their office at 275 Renfrew Drive in Markham. Their staff and contact information will continue to remain the same. Cornell will continue to operate under their existing brand and their clients can expect to see the same great service that they have grown accustom to.

Co-CEO John Beadle and Vice President Patrick Hogan will also remain with the organization, along with other members of Cornell’s leadership team, to continue to guide the brokerage into its next exciting chapter. Co-CEO Mike Hannan will also be entering the next chapter of his life, a well-earned retirement.

“We have always admired Cornell as a business and hoped for an opportunity to work with them,” said Ross McDougall, “We share the same customer-centric approach and commitment to our communities. McDougall looks forward to collaborating with Cornell to improve things for our collective clients in the GTA and across Canada.”

We remain committed to continuing our growth and offering great service and insurance products to our customers. This merger is an exciting next step as we now have a presence in the Greater Toronto Area.

We would like to welcome the new staff and clients to the McDougall Insurance team!
