About Us

While our company name – Stanhope Simpson Insurance Ltd. – was new in 1998, we have been in operation in the Maritime Provinces for over sixty years. Our firm is comprised of two long-serving general insurance brokerages: Stanhope Insurance Ltd. & Simpson-Hurst Ltd. Simpson-Hurst has a rich heritage in the commercial insurance industry dating back to 1947 and Stanhope Insurance was founded by Victor Stanhope in 1979.
We are proud to be an industry leader among insurance brokers in Atlantic Canada for commercial insurance and surety bonding solutions, with a strong focus on the construction, development and seafood industries. We also have a highly talented personal lines team that is dedicated to providing exceptional automobile, home, marine and other personal insurance advice and product selection for individuals and groups throughout the Atlantic Provinces.
