We set the customer service bar very high at Aon, and this solution is an effective way in which to deliver on that promise. It’s an impressive demonstration of ELD Canada’s commitment to ease of doing business.”

In combination with the launch of ExecProQuote.com, ELD Canada is pleased to introduce two additions to the ExecPro line of Management Liability Insurance Products: ExecPro Canadian Non-Profit Organization Management Liability Solution and ExecPro Canadian Private Company Management Liability Solution.
