SeaFirst’s Pay It Forward Campaign

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and bring changes by the hour the impact on our local businesses and clients is heartbreaking. Therefore it is time for all of The SeaFirst Team to step up and help! Today I am pleased to announce a new initiative developed by our management team to assist our local businesses, clients and friends. It is called “The SeaFirst Pay it Forward Campaign“ and here’s how it works.

Employees can go out and buy up to $100 of services or gift cards from a local business. We encourage staff to use their imagination! Once staff have made their “Pay It Forward“ purchase, SeaFirst will give a matching donation for staff to make an additional purchase from a second business. Our Commercial Producer Steve Pearce and his Think Local First team have also launched the Support Local YYJ website which allows you to purchase gift cards for many local businesses in Victoria.

Lastly, Seafirst is issuing a challenge to other businesses to start their own “Pay It Forward” initiative with their staff. Get creative and support our fellow local businesses!

Best regards to all,

Doug Strong

President

Update:

As of April 2nd, we are proud to announce that staff purchasing and Seafirst’s matching purchases have contributed $7,230 of support for local businesses! We will continue the Pay It Forward initiative within our own organization and encourage other businesses to do the same!

We would also like to graciously thank Pat Ahern from the Island Fisherman Magazine! Take a look at Pat’s recent article, detailing how he was motivated to Pay It Forward! We are incredibly proud to see individuals and businesses across BC giving back when it matters the most.

“Yesterday my husband and I completed a private purchase of a vehicle in Sidney. The seller suggested we go to your agency to do the transfer and insurance. What an amazing customer service experience. All three employees were engaging and helpful. The gent who helped with our transaction was absolutely awesome. Thank you for your stellar service. We live in Colwood but joked we will drive to Sidney for all of our insurance needs on a go forward! Keep building the incredible culture you have at the Sidney location.”

“SeaFirst and Garrett have been wonderful to deal with, quick to respond to our needs and questions. Even better is that they saved us a ton of money on our insurance with their adventure tourism specific policy.”

“I was satisfied and pleased with the prompt attention with which our claim was handled. Each person I spoke to during this process was very helpful.”

“The service received from SeaFirst, the adjusters, the insurers and the restoration people was great. I highly recommend everybody who was involved. Thanks for the help in a horrible situation.”

“SeaFirst Insurance has been the insurer of Driftwood's assets and liability since our opening day of operation in 2008. They have been able to customize, adapt and structure our growing needs into a comprehensive plan that is far superior in value and relevance to our unique needs than anything else presented to us.”

“SeaFirst Insurance dealt with an emergency flood situation whilst we were out of the country and were unreachable! They acted immediately when a neighbour called them to inform (them) about the flood, sending a service tech team out that same night. SeaFirst's repair and restoration team were instructed, coordinated, highly skilled, fast workers and absolutely amazing in every way possible.”

“We were fortunate enough to have discovered SeaFirst in 2001. We have very specific insurance requirements and often need to call SeaFirst for additions, information, clarifications and such. Responses are always immediate and thorough. We would recommend SeaFirst, without reservation, to anyone considering their services.”

“Honest, insightful and accurate service is what we’ve come to expect from Shawn and the team at SeaFirst Insurance Brokers. The firm has unmatched customer service coupled with incredible expertise and most importantly - they save us time because I know that when I contact them, they’ll take care of our issue quickly and correctly.”

“As a business consultant, I realize that a key building block of any operating plan is risk management; more to the point – informed risk management that not only protects operations but can promote growth with how you structure your liability coverage. I have zero hesitation in recommending SeaFirst Insurance as a strategic partner in all aspects of professional risk management.”

“We experienced a loss within the first three months of becoming store owners. The staff at SeaFirst insurance helped us to get through it with their great understanding and service. They were wonderful to work with, especially under the circumstances.”

“I was very happy with the timely decision on the acceptance of my claim. As a small business owner, it was important to me that there were no unnecessary delays that would impact my business. I am very happy with the straight forward expediting of this claim.”

“Service was exceptional from both SeaFirst and the adjuster! The adjuster visited the property the same day I reported the damage and all parties operated efficiently and professionally.”

"Thank you for your professionalism, I would never entrust my insurance with anyone but Seafirst, quick , easy and timely, Warm regards Edwina"

"Alexander was incredible in helping us secure insurance quickly for our charity event. Thanks to his swift service, we were able to raise over $23,000 to support sending kids with disabilities to Camp Shawnigan. We're so grateful for Seafirst's support!"
