Testimonials

"I challenge my managers to make sure all of their suppliers are providing the optimum return on our investment. Our CFO who manages the P & C insurance and our Human Resources Director who manages our health, dental, disability and worker's comp. benefits, can consistently quantify that Gales Creek provides rates and services that would be hard pressed for another broker to match."
- Irene Firmat, CEO, Full Sail Brewing Company
 
 
"We could not be more pleased with the service we receive from Gales Creek Insurance. We changed insurance companies three times before finally finding them. It was such a relief to know we could finally trust our broker and that we were getting the best deal on each of our policies. I have always felt comfortable calling Jeff and Kim whenever I have questions and they've always taken time to explain things to me."
- Patty Holton, Financial Administrator, Julia Morgan Center for the Arts
 
 
"Gales Creek has...continually done an outstanding job learning our business in order to find and provide comprehensive coverage. Not unlike many companies and industries, we've been met with challenges in insuring our events and consider Gales Creek and Bob Baker our business allies and an important component to the health of our company."
- Susan P. Owenby, Director of Shared Services, One Reel, Inc.
 
 
"Gales Creek has aided us immeasurably with their response to our insurance claims over the years. The most significant of these claims was a $2.5 million arson fire, which destroyed a 42 unit building occupied by very low income tenants. While no one expects to experience a major and catastrophic claim, it is vital to have a broker committed to their best interests when one does occur. REACH found that broker in Gales Creek. In addition to helping us obtain a settlement of the claim as quickly as possible, Gales Creek staff also volunteered their time to REACH by helping to clear out the damaged building and find donated storage space for the belongings of our displaced tenants."
- Dee Walsh, Executive Director, REACH Community Development, Inc.
 
 
"Like a lot of people who work for non-profits, I do this work because I want to help people and improve our community. I am certainly not an expert about insurance. That is why it is so important that I have the trust and confidence in the people at Gales Creek. I can do my job because I know they are doing theirs."
- Nick Sauvie, Executive Director, Rose Community Development
 
 
"Over the dozen or so years that Puget Consumers' Co-op has purchased insurance through Gales Creek Insurance Services, we have found them eager to provide the careful service we needed as their customer. This often has enabled us to keep our customers happy with the follow through and sensitivity they expected at times of difficulty.
Gales Creek has also been a remarkable provider through their innovative thinking toward assembling insurance packages for us through the years. They manage to do much more than just rewrap and renew yesterday's package."

They now service our clientele throughout the United States and a few foreign locations."
