Megson Fitzpatrick
Insurance
Welcome VIATeC Members!
We are proud to announce that Megson FitzPatrick Inc. has earned VIATeC’s endorsement in offering technology insurance solutions exclusive to VIATeC members.
A customized, value driven insurance Program is an integral part of any risk management strategy. Together with the ENCON Group Inc., one of Canada's leading specialty insurance providers to the technology sector, we've developed a Premier Business Program and Corporate Business Program which leverage VIATeC's size while recognizing the diversity of its membership.
Our VIATeC Premier Business Program focuses on Errors & Omission Liability, Commercial General Liability, Employment Practices Liability and Property insurance solutions for VIATeC members with revenues under $1,000,000. The Premier Program includes benefits available only to VIATEC members such as preferred pricing, higher limits, broader coverage and swift turnaround time.
Larger members with more complex needs may complete the VIATeC Corporate Business application and email a copy to the same address. However, we encourage you to contact us personally. We strongly believe that a comprehensive insurance Program is but one aspect of a well developed risk management approach. We work closely with our clients to customize Risk Reducing StrategiesTM to compliment their business plans. We will evaluate your risk exposures and offer solutions that safeguard your investment and fit your risk appetite.
While we believe these Programs will appeal to many VIATeC members we appreciate that the diversity of the association means that some members may require more specialized coverage specific to their particular field. Regardless of your eligibility for either Program please contact us directly via phone or email so we can work together to customize a solution that’s right for you.
Please visit our site in the coming months for Loss Control Bulletins and other services designed to address the unique needs of Vancouver Island’s technology sector.
Over the years, Megson FitzPatrick Inc has partnered with dozens of VIATEC members, from independent consultants to many of the “VIATeC 25”. We look forward to the opportunity to earn your business too.
