Iridium conducted an in-depth review and analysis of our company’s operations and risk management processes. It was an incredible value-add to our business and gave us insights as to how we could make our insurance program more effective, in addition to enhancing our overall risk management process. The team at Iridium was knowledgeable, detail oriented, and timely in responding to all our requests and requirements. There is no doubt in my mind that Iridium’s expertise enabled us to achieve favorable terms on our renewal while also helping to simplify and clarify some of the coverages. Their ability to explain complex coverage considerations and policy wordings provided us with a strong confidence level with their recommendations. Overall, we are very satisfied with Iridium’s service, which we feel is tailored to our business and we are confident our risk management needs are being addressed by the team.

—Shaun Gawryliuk, Chief Financial Officer, Terracon Geotechnique Ltd.

Through the last two companies I’ve been involved with, I have partnered with Iridium for the last 10+ years. They continue to impress me with their energy industry expertise and unique focus on managing the broad spectrum of enterprise risks that energy companies face. They currently provide Aureus with year-round prompt support and valuable risk advice integral to our fast-paced and geographically spread-out operations. Iridium has been a great advocate for Aureus in the insurance marketplace and has helped us navigate the challenges of our company’s growth, cost-effectively. They also routinely take time to meet and educate members of our team on insurance coverages and industry leading risk management practices. Aureus considers Iridium a valued risk management advisor and have integrated them into our team. We highly recommend them to any company.

—Ron Hozjan, VP Finance & CFO, Aureus Energy Services

We were extremely happy by the results Iridium delivered for our company. At renewal, they conducted a thorough review of our insurance program and leveraged the insurance market to optimize our coverage while significantly reducing costs. Thanks to their expertise and proactive approach, we saw our insurance costs drop by over 30%—without sacrificing the protection we need. Their team was responsive and focussed on our best interests. We highly recommend Iridium to any business looking for a smarter, more cost-effective insurance solution.

—Bryden Wright, P. Eng, President & CEO, ROK Resources Inc.

We can always count on Iridium to be available at a moment’s notice. Whether it be to discuss a random insurance related topic, review a contract, or request documentation for board level meetings, they always deliver regardless of timing. Iridium has been great at bringing forward ideas, issues and solutions that have helped Perpetual build a better insurance program. They also introduced us to a new marketing strategy of building direct relationships with the underwriting community. Not only did it pay dividends at the time Iridium first became our broker, but it has continued to do so in subsequent renewals. Their professionalism, ability to speak on a technical level and refreshing style are all big reasons why our firms continue to do business.

—Jeffrey R. Green
Vice President,
Perpetual Energy Inc.

Iridium provides us with the guidance we need to ensure we have the proper coverage for our business. Iridium goes beyond the traditional broker role enabling us to explore different and new avenues that helped identify and address our various risk exposures.

—Marcia Elaschuk, CMA
Controller,
Divestco Inc.

We engaged Iridium as Crescent Point’s risk management and insurance partner because they encouraged us to take a big-picture view on risk. Their collaborative and analytical approach enabled us to gain a better handle of our exposures and allowed us to put rigour around our many risk-improvement initiatives. Iridium impresses our team with their ability to develop intelligent risk solutions and they have more than delivered on their promise to be our strongest claims advocate. Without question, I would recommend Iridium as a risk management partner to anyone.

—Steve Downing
Manager. Risk and Treasury,
Crescent Point Energy Corp.

The team at Iridium is professional, approachable and knowledgeable. Prior to the sale of our business, insurance was managed by an internal risk management corporate group. Iridium was engaged to establish insurance coverage within a short period of time for the standalone business. Iridium was intimately involved in proposing solutions to mitigate risk and brought significant cost savings to our business. Iridium is a true risk partner for our business; providing education and training, expert contract review and risk assessments, along with a strong understanding of our company’s exposures and insurance coverage.

Canlin Energy Corporation.
