A First Onsite Property Restoration has partnered with the Canadian Association of Managing General Agents (CAMGA) as a silver sponsor.

CAMGA is a national trade association representing managing general agents (MGAs) in the property & casualty space. It is also recognized as Canada’s standard-setting body for the deregulated underwriting marketplace.

“Having First Onsite as a sponsor demonstrates our commitment to our association members to provide resources and connections within the industry that can share in knowledge transfer and educational sessions,” said CAMGA managing director Steve Masnyk. “We are pleased to welcome First Onsite as a sponsor and trusted partner to MGAs across the country.”

As part of their partnership, First Onsite will participate in CAMGA’s Claims Summit on November 15, 2023 according to an emailed news release. It will join a panel discussion on claims mitigation and new technology to expedite the life cycle of insurance claims.

“First Onsite has been successful working with its Lloyd’s of London syndicates, MGAs, and third-party administrators for over a decade and believes that we have a lot of industry experience to offer to the CAMGA membership,” added Barry J. Ross, executive vice president at the company.

First Onsite is headquartered in the US and operates across North America. It grew its Canadian presence last year by opening a branch in Saint John, New Brunswick. The company had described the move as a way to boost its support in the Maritime provinces.

“Saint John is the hub and industrial centre of New Brunswick, and this location provides a strategic beachhead for our continued growth,” said Atlantic regional vice president Darren Bezanson as First Onsite opened the branch in late 2022.
