Testimonials

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.

Over the past 30 years, Pennecon has grown from regional roadbuilder to a leading national heavy civil and industrial contractor, with a vast array of private and public customers from coast to coast. Our projects are continually larger, technically challenging, and contractually complex, and so it is critical for our staff and business partners to be the most knowledgeable and progressive in the industry. Petrela, Winter & Associates’ team of highly skilled bonding professionals have assisted us in many ways, enabling our disciplined growth for over 20 years. Always up to the challenge, their credibility with the Surety community and their continuous support and guidance has been paramount to the success of our business.

—David Mitchell, P.ENG, CEO, Pennecon Limited

PWA has been a valued member of our business team for many years. Their knowledgeable staff continues to provide consistent, timely and professional advice and service with respect to our surety bonding and business insurance needs. We would not hesitate to recommend PWA to others in the construction industry.

—Doug Newman, President, Newman Bros. Limited

Petrela, Winter & Associates has been an important longstanding business partner of Ampere Limited. They provide a great deal of overall value to our business as it relates to cost-effective bonding, insurance, and risk management solutions. We can always rely on their informed construction business perspective.

Ampere’s reputation as leaders in our field is as a result of building the best and most reliable internal and external team in the business, and PWA is a key part of this team.

—Mario Bernardini, President & CEO, Ampere Limited

The Cahill Group is a national contractor dealing with a wide variety of sophisticated clients with unique project security models and challenges, and PWA consistently has innovative solutions to these bonding/security issues. As a private construction company, PWA understands our entrepreneurial and unique approach to getting things done and finding the right solution that will work for both The Cahill Group and its clients. We absolutely view PWA as a partner. They offer immediate access to a wealth of experience and knowledge unparalleled in the industry.

—Dan Farrell, Chief Financial Officer, The Cahill Group

The staff at Petrela Winter feel like an extension of our team. We truly believe that they genuinely care about the success of our business and fully understand the needs of our company. They are extremely responsive, engaged and helpful with the day-to-day activities of our business. They ensure we have the coverage we require for our operations and never recommend we add coverage that is not required. Their knowledge of our industry is a valuable asset for our business and gives us the peace of mind we need.

—Vince De Cicco, President, Riverside Concrete Forming Ltd.
