From east to west: BrokerLink completes three acquisitions

TORONTO, July 9, 2025 – BrokerLink is expanding again with new acquisitions in three Canadian provinces: Newfoundland-based Crosbie Job Insurance, Ontario-based Chris Mellor Insurance Brokers Ltd. (CMIB) and Leibel Insurance Group (Leibel Insurance) in Alberta. Crosbie Job Insurance closed June 1, while Leibel Insurance and CMIB closed July 1.

Growing our presence in Newfoundland

With a legacy dating back to the 1860s, Crosbie Insurance has built lasting relationships with its customers, prioritizing exceptional service. Since 1984, the brokerage has remained deeply connected to the communities its serves by supporting local organizations, including foodbanks and sports clubs, and has maintained its offices in smaller locations to continue fostering strong ties.

Expanding our commercial reach in Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto

Since 1981, Leibel Insurance has served customers across Alberta, growing into one of the province’s largest independent brokers with a strong focus on commercial insurance solutions. With locations in Edmonton, Calgary and Toronto, the brokerage offers specialized programs such as group insurance, while focusing on key industries like transportation and construction. The company supports local communities through charitable initiatives and has received multiple industry awards recognizing its service excellence and workplace culture.

Established in 1957, CMIB is a proud family-owned insurance brokerage based in Toronto. For three generations, the Mellor family has built lasting relationships by offering personalized insurance solutions its customers could count on. Guided by trust, service and community, CMIB has upheld its reputation for excellence by helping people protect what matters to them through every stage of life.

“At BrokerLink, we’re here to help people, which means providing exceptional service the way customers want it,” says BrokerLink president, Joe D’Annunzio. “With a shared commitment to serving customers, every one of the teams joining us brings their local expertise and community connections to our proud Canadian company.”

The dedicated professionals from Crosbie Job Insurance, Leibel Insurance and CMIB will continue supporting the communities they know best, now as part of the BrokerLink team.
