Testimonials

Frecon Construction has been a client of Petrela Winter for over 20 years, during which time I have come to view Petrela Winter not only as my surety and insurance broker, but as an advocate for my business. PWA has a breadth of business experience and their professionals are more than happy to provide guidance or even open doors with his other clients or even competitors to do what is best for my company. Petrela Winter is known as an industry leader in the surety industry but they have been much more to my business, they’ve been a partner.

—Dean Drevniok, Past Chair, OGCA & President, Frecon Construction Limited

We have been represented by Petrela Winter for over 30 years, and we have and continue to receive the best terms in the industry for both bonding and insurance. Their dedication to the industry, knowledge base, and their understanding of the national market as a whole, sector by sector, and region by region has provided our firm with a significant competitive edge.

—Keith Dwyer, President, Easco Electric Limited

I wanted to pause a moment to send Petrela Winter a big thank you for the work you have done over the years. I carry a comfort level working with the Petrela Winter team over the past 15 years or so. Some years have required action and strategic thinking from Petrela Winter, and your team stepped up to the plate and rose to the challenge. PWA has become a deeper part of the brain trust for ZEC, and I am very proud to have them as part of my team, and thank you sincerely for the work that you have done.

—Johannes Ziebarth, President & CEO, Ziebarth Electrical Contractors Ltd.

We are thrilled with the service and relationship with Petrela, Winter & Associates. They understand and are plugged into the construction industry, and have done an excellent job in providing improved bonding terms, service and advice for the Salit Group of Companies across Canada, including seamless service and support of our growth and acquisition strategy. As Salit builds on its 115-year history of success, it’s important for us to maintain the very best internal and external team, and PWA is a key part of this team. We have and will continue to recommend Petrela, Winter & Associates to any business looking for a strong value-add broker partner and advocate.

—Wayne Gelb, Chief Financial Officer, Salit Steel & Salit Group of Companies
