An official ceremony yesterday for the coming together of Gillon's Insurance and Cousineau Brokers.
The two Fort Frances-based insurance companies joined forces at the beginning of this year, but waited to officially recognize the merger following the completion of renovations to its Church Street office.
Gillon's president Duane Cridland says the transition has been a smooth one.
"It's been wonderful," says Cridland. "There were a few months prior to the official announcement that a lot of the groundwork was done with Larry (Cousineau) and that made the transition so much smoother. He had a wonderful outlook as to how this would look moving forward and its worked out well."
Cridland says it did mean the need to remodel the Church Street office to accommodate the additional staff.
