About dbi Brokers Ltd.

The dbi Difference

For over 90 years, dbi Brokers Ltd. has specialized in personal and business insurance packages, specifically designed to meet the individual needs of our clients.

Since 1931, our specialty has been personal attention. We understand that every insurance situation is different, so we take the necessary time and care with each individual. Get to know us, and we might even share a laugh together.

Our History

  • G.S. Dalrymple operated a small insurance agency from his residence in Ayr, Ontario, establishing Dalrymple Insurance.

  • G.S. Dalrymple completed the sale of a portion of his business in the Paris area to Murray Burns who established Burns Insurance Service.

  • John S. Brown (Jack) became one of the shareholders of the corporation and as other shareholders retired changes in ownership were made and we became a family business.

  • The purchase of Burns Insurance Service from Murray’s sons, Bill and Bob Burns, was completed and we established an office in Paris, Ontario. The business has come full circle since 1942.

  • The addition of Perrin Insurance Brokers Ltd in Simcoe and Goderich Insurance extends our area of operations. The Dalrymple-Burns Insurance circle of connectivity is now reflected in our new name dbi Brokers Ltd.

With offices in Ayr, Paris, Simcoe, and Goderich, we have been proud to serve
many communities in Ontario for decades.

Sponsoring Our Community

We happily live in the Ontario communities that we do business in, and we have always taken strides to be a part of the community. We are proud to give back because without the support of our family, friends, and neighbours, we wouldn't be the company that we have grown to be.

If you have a sponsorship opportunity or would like us to participate in your community event in Ayr, Paris, Simcoe, Goderich, and the surrounding areas, send us an email to ebrokers@dbibrokers.ca.

What Our Clients Are Saying:

"Excellent customer service! I know there are many discount brokerages and providers available, but I really feel I am getting good value from these guys. If I have a question or concern, I can call them or send them an email and get an honest answer quickly. I don't have to deal with big corporation intake processes, phone menus, multiple persons, etc. It's pretty refreshing, actually."
