Our Journey: A Legacy of Trust and Commitment
Firstbrook's story is one of unwavering commitment to protecting business families' legacies. John Firstbrook began his journey in 1977 at Canada Life Insurance, quickly proving his determination by achieving Million Dollar Round Table recognition in his first year, followed by Top of the Table.
In 1982, long before it was in vogue, John was driven by the entrepreneurial spirit and left the big insurance companies to establish The Firstbrook Insurance Group. By 1987, he had formed a key partnership with the Canadian Automotive Dealers Association (CADA), consulting with industry leaders and later expanding to serve top entrepreneurs and business families across various sectors.
John’s unique approach focused on family first, aligning goals for future success. Today, as Firstbrook Miklas Insurance Group, John’s partnership with David Miklas continues to bring fresh energy and growth, with their shared commitment to supporting entrepreneurs. Their success is built on a blend of vision, hard work, and a dedicated team.
