My father started Mumby Insurance Brokers in 1975. He was a newcomer to Canada. He left a secure, well paid corporate position to start his own insurance brokerage with only a few weeks of income in the bank and 3 children under the age of 8. He possessed a compelling vision about how he could create value for his future clients. He was driven to succeed. His success required great commitment, courage, and confidence. I am very proud of his decision, and the work he did in the many years he owned this brokerage, prior to my purchasing it 20 years ago. I share many of his traits and values, the most important one being “always put clients first”.
My partner and I have successfully owned and operated a growing profitable insurance brokerage for over 20 years. We have incurred bumps along the road as well as good times. No matter the genre, we work tirelessly to make sure “our clients came first.” Every day we practice the same commitment, courage, and confidence demonstrated by my father.
Like my father and most entrepreneurs, we have a strong vision of how our company will continue to grow and succeed. By understanding our own strengths, capabilities and limitations, we seek to recruit team members who not only complement our vision and values, but who possess “the right professional credentials and aptitude” to both support and contribute to the betterment of our clients. We believe in and follow the RIBO Brokers Code of Conduct. While we use a number of assessment tools to help us select the right fit team members, we have admittedly overlooked these tools in a few past cases and hired without using them. We did this at our peril. We hired candidates who turned out to be “outliers” as we described in our previous post.
Regrettably, these “outliers” continue to post negative and defamatory posts on Glass Door. We have been informed of their identities and efforts to use different email accounts to place multiple postings and circumvent Glass Door’s posting terms. Our information flow continues. We do not wish to pursue legal action but we are exploring this option.
We remain deeply concerned that this kind of anonymous online bullying by nameless faceless individuals is contributing to alarming statistics such as those referenced in this article;

Team Mumby is very proud of our current team, and the work they perform.
We wish the individuals who have posted on Glass Door good luck and the best in their careers moving forward.
