History

INTRODUCTION

Special Risk Insurance Managers (SRIM) is built on a foundation of longevity, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to niche insurance solutions. With roots stretching back over three decades, SRIM has established itself as a leader in hard-to-place risks, earning the trust of insurers, brokers, and clients across Canada.

From its inception, SRIM was shaped by the vision of pioneering niche market providers: Sports-Can Insurance Consultants Ltd., Special Risk Insurance Brokers Ltd., Special Risk International, and NG Williams & Associates Ltd. These companies recognized a need for specialized insurance solutions in a market underserved by traditional insurers. Their combined expertise laid the groundwork for SRIM’s success across key sectors, including sports, leisure & entertainment, transportation & forestry, and complex casualty placements.

From these humble beginnings, SRIM has grown into a team of over 200 professionals spanning Canada. This national presence enables us to deliver optimal service to broker partners while providing region-specific underwriting expertise. Just as our team has expanded, so too has our portfolio of contracted markets. SRIM proudly maintains relationships with some of the world’s largest insurers, including multi-decade continuous contracts that trace back to our founding.

As a Managing General Agent (MGA), SRIM operates with full autonomy under these contracts, delivering tailored solutions that meet the highest industry standards. We offer the capacity to quote, issue policies, and manage claims while maintaining the agility and innovation required to address unique risk challenges.

Through years of growth and transformation, SRIM remains independently owned and operated, upholding its steadfast commitment to core values: expertise, responsiveness, and relationship-building. Today, SRIM continues to set the benchmark for MGA excellence within Canada’s dynamic and ever-evolving insurance landscape.
