MEET RAYNER AGENCIES
For our latest client spotlight, Virgil Reed met with Sheldon Wasylenko, Co-Owner, GM of Rayner Agencies. (above)
Rayner Agencies Ltd. is a general insurance brokerage that has been owned and operated by the Wasylenko family since 1971. Originally established by Lorne and Ruth Rayner in 1948, the business was started in the Sutherland area of Saskatoon and has continued to serve clients throughout Saskatchewan since its opening. Rayner Agencies Ltd. is a full-service insurance brokerage representing a large number of insurance companies and offers a wide range of insurance policies for homes, automobiles, businesses, and agricultural risks.
WELCOME TO 810 CENTRAL
Rayner Agencies had outgrown their original 3400 Sq Ft location in Sutherland. The lack of space in that building meant there was no parking and they didn't have any meeting rooms. Over time this was limiting the companies ability to grow. The team at Rayner Agencies didn't want to leave Sutherland, as they value the community and location. That meant finding the perfect location ended up taking 10 years!
Their patience paid off and they moved into the iconic old Sutherland Hotel and Bar location on Central Avenue. The extensive renovations to the 7500 sq ft property resulted in a stylish location that seamlessly blends heritage and modern styles including their beautiful Atrium.
Now the Rayner Agencies 23 team members have plenty of space. In addition, they rent out the impressive boardroom to 3rd parties for meetings and events.
PROTECTING RAYNER AGENCIES
When it came to the commercial security needs, Reed supplied the alarm and access control systems and the client supplied their own cameras.
The Reed Security team is proud to work with and provide support for wonderful local businesses like Rayner Agencies. Their focus to maintain the highest level of customer service, with honesty and integrity is very much aligned with Reed Security's value and mission.
"Rayner Agencies Ltd. chose Reed Security to design it’s building and door security system for our new building project at 810 Central Avenue. Right from the beginning, the sales and design team led by Geoff as well as the support team understood our needs very well and did an exceptional job deploying their solution and providing the support we needed along the way. Their technical knowledge and post-installation support was important to us. I would confidently recommend Reed Security for handling your commercial security needs."
Sheldon Wasylenko, Co-Owner, GM of Rayner Agencies
Thank you Sheldon and Rayner Agencies for trusting Reed Security to protect your People and Property!
