Jim Kelly Insurance was founded over forty years ago out of the desire to provide greater choice, value and service to clients. In 1981 a young Jim Kelly had started a family, completed an economics degree, and was working for a large insurance company in Toronto when he decided that by opening his own brokerage, he could provide more personalized and tailored services to his clients, helping them navigate the important and sometimes complex decisions around insurance as well as provide greater support during stressful moments in their life.
