About Us

In 1929 Dad earned $120 per month, the nicest home in Oshawa cost $12,000 and a new car cost $1,200. The stock market crash started the "Dirty Thirties" and W. Bert White opened W. B. White Insurance. Recognized as one of the leading insurance brokers in Durham Region, we are a full service insurance brokerage, whose success has been built on by four generations of family ownership. When Bert retired his son in law Walter Famme took over the reins, which have now been passed to his son Jim Famme and his son Jason. Our office has a staff of 33 people, including a full service financial department which is now protecting 3rd and 4th generations of clients. We also have branch offices in Belleville and Caledonia.

How Do We Work For You?

Our staff are all licenced professionals who want to help you with your insurance needs and protect your financial security. Everyone attends courses to keep up to date on the latest insurance coverage, programs and customer service skills. Most importantly, we represent more than one company. Unlike the banks or direct writers we offer choice and the right company to suit your individual needs.

What Can We Do For You?

We start by making it easier for you to understand and buy insurance products. We offer comparative quotations and show you how to save money with deductibles and discounts. From one source, you obtain what you need regarding coverage for your home, cottage, vehicle, boat and other possessions.

You can discuss your needs for your home business, commercial business, liability or bonding with a specialist. Our financial services division will help you with your concerns about life and disability insurance, employee benefits, retirement planning and segregated funds.

Losses occur, and when they do, we know how you feel and we’re here to help the claim process run smoothly.
