Testimonials

We are very proud to be associated with Petrela Winter for the last 13 years. Having Petrela Winter as our bonding experts, the company has grown steadily since. They have continuously supported us with our institutional contracts and have helped us to reach new heights in our business.

Our being in Ottawa-Gatineau and they’re being in Toronto has never been an obstacle, and we always feel they are on our side in every situation as required. Their expertise is extremely helpful in many aspects of our business. I like to think of Petrela Winter being more than our bonding experts, but as real partners!

We would certainly recommend their services to any construction company looking for a broker partner that adds true value.

PWA and the Univex Group of Companies have worked together and supported each other for many years, and the relationship is now well into the second generation of operations for both companies. PWA supports Univex in their Surety and Corporate as well as personal Insurance needs, but more importantly, PWA has been an important and trusted adviser and confidant for Univex as we navigate the ever changing construction industry.

PWA was a major influence over the Surety underwriters in the early days of the Design/Build form of delivery of projects, securing support for when two major P3 hospitals, each the largest to be constructed in one phase in Canada, were out for RFP at the same time.

Univex is extremely satisfied with the dealings that we have with PWA and are proud to call the group at PWA our friends.

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 with Petrela Winter and Associates for just over a year, and it has been a pleasure working with their Northern Ontario team. It was PWA’s extensive construction experience, their broad network of industry experts, and their consistently quick response time that encouraged us to make the change to their firm. I don’t imagine that maintaining a positive customer experience is an easy task in the insurance sector, but the PWA team make it happen at every stage, from simple COI requests to complicated claims and extensive renewals. I am grateful for the flawless transition to Petrela Winter and Associates, and I look forward to our ongoing relationship.

—Amanda Williams, VP Finance and Administration, Avery Construction
