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

As we approached our first renewal with Iridium, I was extremely impressed by the team’s operational technical expertise in helping us construct an insurance program most suitable for our risks and their ability to clearly and concisely explain everything as we went through the process. The Iridium team were able to negotiate a fair price for Battle River, in a tough market, and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. Our first renewal went much smoother than I ever could have expected, and we really enjoyed working with them.

—Lance Dunn
Chief Financial Officer,
Battle River Energy Ltd.

We selected Iridium as our insurance partner as they provided a unique business and risk management focus that was aligned with our vision. Their team performed a comprehensive assessment of our insurance requirements utilizing a risk-assessment approach. Not only were we impressed with their initial assessment, but their ongoing service level, engagement and commitment has demonstrated to us that they are a valuable business partner. I would strongly recommend Iridium as a risk management partner.

—Stuart W. Jaggard
Chief Financial Officer,
Painted Pony Energy Ltd.

Iridium earned our business through their fresh, consultative approach to helping us manage the risks faced by our business every day. Iridium was able to identify gaps in our insurance and risk management program and bring innovative, thoughtful solutions to the table while being cost conscious through the process. Iridium is indispensable to any oil and gas producer as their availability and expertise in risk management and insurance has us deem them as a partner versus a service provider.

—Craig W. Albert CGA
Controller,
Zargon Oil & Gas Ltd.

When TransCanada Turbines aligned our business with Iridium, you were dealing with a group of TCT people with very limited exposure to the Risk/Insurance industry. Your ability to articulate insurance matters and jargon into clear terms enabled us to feel comfortable with all of our insurance and contractual decisions. Your team’s willingness to support our business for everything from education and transformational activities to our frequent questions regarding our transactional business dealing has been over the top. We will tell you that TransCanada Turbines would not hesitate to recommend Iridium to anyone. Your team service is excellent, your approach is transparent and your willingness to help is tireless. We look forward to a long and symbiotic relationship with the entire Iridium Team. Well done!

—Tim Wilcox
Vice President,
TransCanada Turbines

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.
