“Enerflex is a complicated global account and I have been extremely impressed with the way that the team at Iridium has been able to dissect and understand our risks to ensure our policies are appropriate for our organization. There are a number of touch points around the globe and the team at Iridium has seamlessly coordinated our program. I am extremely pleased with the risk management focus of Iridium and the results that their unique approach has brought to our company.”

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.

Crescent Point Energy Corp.

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!

Vice President,
TransCanada Turbines

We have an expectation at Enerplus for accuracy and timely service. We also require our Broker have legal & policy expertise and the technical resources to enable us to fully manage our portfolio of risk exposures. Iridium has not only delivered and exceeded our expectations in each category, they have also shown a commitment to my team and to our organization that goes far beyond the standard scope of services.

Iridium took the time to meet with our rail logistics and tidewater terminal operating teams to learn about Sultran’s overall business activities and related risks. The Iridium team’s analysis of our risks was very comprehensive and resulted in the design and placement of an insurance program that vastly improved coverage of our identified risks. Their prompt service, knowledge of managing risks and attention to detail has been impressive and extremely helpful. Not only has Iridium talked the talk, they’ve walked the walk.

—Warren Barker
Director of Finance and Administration & Corporate Secretary,
Sultran 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.

We are very pleased with the expertise and service that we receive from Iridium. We take comfort that our representatives at Iridium have a current understanding of market conditions and combined with the investment they make in understanding our business and risks, we are highly confident that we are getting the best coverage and competitive premiums. The people at Iridium are very attentive and responsive to our needs. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
