TESTIMONIALS FROM RESTAURANT OPERATORS

“As a multi-unit franchise, managing my insurance line is extremely important to my profitability. My decision logic in selecting Besnard as my insurance partner has been their understanding of my business needs. They have been nothing but fair and competitive with a personal touch that is second to none. I value our relationships for all my insurance needs.”

“The Besnard Team is accessible, knowledgeable and always places excellent customer service at the fore front. It has been a pleasure and continues to be a pleasure to work with company representatives; I find that each are an incredible resource in explaining and aiding the understanding of the intricacies of our insurance policies and anytime they are called upon for assistance they are always very responsive. You truly feel that your business and relationship are valued”

“We have been with Besnard Insurance since 2015 and prior to that time we had not worked closely with our Insurance Broker. That all changed in 2015. We have found Besnard Insurance to be excellent partners. They are very attentive to our needs, not only in educating our team in Safety but their marketing materials, which they distribute throughout the year, are first rate and assist us in keeping safety top of mind.”
