What is Mitchell & Whale All About?
Want a career with a mission? M&W is not your typical Insurance Broker and our Mission is “To Make Insurance Not Suck!” Want to be part of that?
We’re not your typical Insurance Brokerage, we sell insurance, but we don’t do it the same way as most. We’re on a mission ‘To Make Insurance Not Suck!”. We take our mission seriously both for our customers and our team. We use lots of cool technology and have a young, fun, loud and open office.
We have no dress code, yep we’re casual all the time, we really like coffee, love our wine Fridays and can’t wait to show you our nerf gun wall. We have loads of fun, but work hard too!
We provide a friendly, supportive team atmosphere, where your opinion matters. You will not be micromanaged; rather given the freedom to work independently with support and accountability for meeting and exceeding targets and goals. We are highly focused on your growth and learning and the success of your career as an insurance professional.
It’s not just us that think we’re pretty cool, with our fast-paced, forward thinking team we’ve been voted #1 brokerage in Ontario, Innovator of the year, and 2018 Brokerage of the Year, so our industry peers are taking notice too!

#wereweird
M&W insurance brokers have aimed to change the way Ontario views working in the insurance industry. To do this the entire M&W team commits to keepin’ it fun and keepin’ it weird. Fun and weird is good for business. Our “People” are our competitive advantage. We have a loyal and motivated team who thrive here and it’s because of our unique culture. Every single teammate is weird and unique in their own way. We encourage our team to express themselves, no matter how weird they are.
This guy likes sleeping on the couch, but he'd like it even more if you helped save men's lives by giving to #Movember. https://buff.ly/2Q0MfCM
One week Movember check-up. This Bro will be sleeping on the couch until December 1st. Make sure his sacrifice is not in vain. Support men's health: https://buff.ly/2Q0MfCM
Meet the M&W Mo Bros! We are taking part in #Movember for our dads, uncles, sons, and of course our bros. Please support the cause: https://buff.ly/2NJRog3
Al Maggi is usually banned from growing his Mo, because it strikes fear in the hearts of men. The authorities have made an exception for #Movember2019. Please support our team of Mo Bros.
Nick Kidd, our Director of Business Insurance, is taking part in #Movember this year. He hasn't shaved his beard since the 90s! Stay tuned for deets on how to sponsor Nick...

Members of the M&W team were proud to join Winmar Restoration today in making a cheque presentation to @grandviewkids as part of Winmar's backpack challenge. Another great cause!
If you back it, then pack it!⠀ ⠀ Once again this year, M&W is taking up the challenge from Winmar Restoration to help the Salvation Army get underprivileged Durham Region kids ready to go back to school, by providing backpacks filled with school supplies.⠀ ⠀ We support every child’s right to an education, and the fact is that some kids need a little help to make that happen.⠀ ⠀ Winmar issued the challenge, and we’re joining them in inviting other brokers in the region to help out! Every little bit helps, and no business is too big or too small to make a difference.⠀ ⠀ We issued our challenge internally a few weeks ago, and already, with M&W matching employee donations, we have enough to build 30 backpacks!⠀ ⠀ Check out our “backpack window”. We’d love to see yours pics too! Please post in the comments! ⠀ ⠀ Thanks and happy summer!⠀ ⠀ The M&W team
