Red River Mutual also announced that it is entering a longer term agreement with the Burn Fund to sponsor fire safety trailers across the province. VP of Sales and Marketing, Chad Friesen said “This is an exciting time to be associated with Red River Mutual. Brokers, policyholders, and our staff are responding very positively to our new mission to excemplify the “Modern Mutual”. Part of that mission includes our investment in loss prevention. We believe an insurance company should work to protect customers from loss rather than just dealing with a loss when it occurs. We look to differentiate Red River Mutual (and our brokers) from the industry as the regional partner that cares first about the safety of it’s policyholders. We look forward to releasing more components to our loss prevention initiative over the next 12-18 months”.
