GNK Insurance
President: Salvatore Audia
Year Established: 1961
Sal Audia got started in insurance in Kitsilano and had a vision to grow his business and level of service. “For me selling an insurance policy was only the beginning, following through when needed, especially with claims is the most rewarding feeling.” Over the years he joined and grew GNK, whose office has been on the same corner since 1961, and continues to serve families, businesses, contractors and car owners. “We have so many long term clients that many have become like friends and family,” he says. A stand out moment for him and the staff was when they hosted a pizza party for a local resident and client who was in ill health but wanted to see the Olympic torch travel through the neighbourhood. They even secretly arranged for a photo-op with the Olympic fan and the torch! Clearly they have a personal connection with their clientele and believe in going above and beyond your average service!
