RIG CA is a retail and wholesale broker representing several top-rated insurance and surety bond companies.

The new organization is led by one of Roanoke’s own industry veterans, Glenn Patton. He will serve as Managing Director of the Canadian operation.

“I am very excited for this new opportunity to expand Roanoke’s presence and serve the logistics industry in this growing market. I have had the privilege of working in the Canadian insurance marketplace for over 3 years, and I look forward to building strong relationships with our Canadian partners and clients”, states Glenn Patton.

Although Roanoke has been working with Canadian partners for over 25 years, establishing a Canadian entity enables Roanoke to provide a stronger and more seamless service experience to clients with cross border operations.
