Westland Insurance acquires Excel Insurance Lloydminster and M. Butler Insurance

Surrey, BC/Territories of the Coast Salish (Kwantlen, Katzie, Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen First Nations), July 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westland Insurance today announced that it acquired Excel Insurance Lloydminster and M. Butler Insurance, effective June 24. These acquisitions bring Westland into two new communities and represent Westland's continued expansion across Canada.  

Excel Lloydminster, a property and casualty brokerage based in Lloydminster, Alberta, has been serving its clients for nearly two decades.

M. Butler Insurance is an independent, full-service P&C brokerage serving Niagara Falls, Ontario. This strategic acquisition takes Westland into a new community for the company.

"It's my absolute pleasure to welcome Excel Lloydminster and M. Butler Insurance to Westland," said Jamie Lyons, President and CEO of Westland Insurance.
