Review from David P.
Vancouver, BC
8/23/2011
If you want to be certain you are covered when you have to file that unfortunate claim, then Paul Simmons at A C & D Insurance is the one you need to hook up with. Paul will set you up with the best and most appropriate insurance for your needs, never selling you too much insurance, and never leaving you without enough to cover appropriate replacement in the case of a claim. Paul will take care of you....both in your home, in your business, and in travel insurance needs. He is a warm individual and knows his business very well. Most importantly, his clients, people like you and I, can just tell him our situation and then sit back and relax, knowing that we are in very capable hands. Highly recommended. -- David Penner at http://www.ja3d.com

Very accommodating and easy to deal with. I faxed my registration papers, a few quick questions on the phone and my renewal papers were popped in the mail well ahead of time of when I needed to renew.

Always get good, fast service. I have had agents go out of their way, even past business hours, to help get insurance when I needed it in a hurry.
I've had auto, travel, and house insurance from them, agents always seem knowledgeable and get things done fast.

History
Established in 1969
It all began pre-ICBC; while working at various brokerages, Don Archibald, Terry Clarke and Ron Defieux found that the policies offered by many brokers were too restrictive so they started AC&D Insurance to create innovative programs and packages that the marketplace didn't offer. This was the basis for the creation of AC&D Insurance and is still an important part of our philosophy today. We represent a larger number of insurers than most brokers and as a result can offer more choices to our customers.
Meet the Business Owner: Joe S.
In 1974 A C & D's current CEO, Joe Stonehouse, then 24, began as an Auto insurance representative. "I was working for Terry Clarke as a carpenter," recalls Joe. "One rainy winter day he asked if I wanted to try insurance. With a baby on the way it sounded like a good time to come in from the rain." Joe's in-depth knowledge of the insurance industry and unique management approach has made AC&D what it is today.
Joe's first day on the job, February 28, 1974, would be a day he'd never forget. "ICBC was new and everybody renewed on the same day, which happened to be the day I started." Although Joe Stonehouse left the company in 1976 to explore other opportunities in the insurance industry, he eventually returned to AC&D and became a partner in 1988. His in-depth knowledge of the industry and unique management approach have made AC&D what it is today. In 2001, Joe's son Brody joined the company to work with his father and help direct the company into the future.
