CDRG: Meridian Group Expands

CDRG Certified Member, Meridian Group, has opened a second Montreal location on November 1, 2010 at #6, 3284 1ere Rue, St-Hubert, on Montreal's South Shore. The decision to open a second location was taken when demand for their services increased, along with a desire to offer their clients the best quality service coupled with faster response times. Opening the location in South Shore will enable Meridian to answer emergency calls much faster while avoiding traffic jams and bridge crossing.

The other advantage of having two locations is that it will allow Meridian Group to have both locations fully equipped and staffed – and at times of catastrophe or high claims demand, they will be able to exchange work force, equipment, and storage facilities from one location to another. The Montreal South Shore community will also feel more confident to have a South Shore business to deal with.

When CDRG asked Wayne Wilding, the President and Founder of Meridian, for the key to Meridian’s success, he told us: “Our top-notch services are requested more and more often by brokers and major loss adjustors. Professionalism and efficiency is the key of our success. Insurers favour us knowing their clients property and belongings is placed in the best hands.”

Wayne also announced his plans that Meridian will be moving to a new 25,000 square foot cleaning and storage facility in the near future. Wayne Wilding and Meridian Group have the expertise and resources to handle any type of insurance loss. Please visit their website for more information, or call them at (514) 920-3434.
