In over 20 years of group benefit consulting, Gord has built a reputation for instinctively tapping into client’s specific needs. Founding Gord Donas Insurance Solutions in July 2013 enables Gord to take his passion and service style to an even higher level to deliver meaningful solutions for small and medium enterprises (SME).
Insurance is in Gord’s blood — he’s following his father’s 35-year career in the insurance business. However, it’s more than just a family affair for Gord; it really is the tremendous feeling that comes from the development and building of personal client relationships, and the rewards that come from being resourceful.
My goal is to make sure that my clients are absolutely comfortable with the solutions I’ve presented before we implement a plan.
Gord has assisted many small and medium-sized companies, associations and non-profit societies in developing insurance protection to meet their unique needs. He provides exceptional advice, consulting and solutions for companies seeking risk coverage in the areas of Employee Benefits, Individual and Corporate Insurance.
In my 50 years of business, Gord is one of the very few people I know who honestly and continually treats his clients with utter discretion, helpfulness, and commitment. He always follows-up and goes the extra mile where no request is too much trouble. Gord stands out in the insurance industry because he treats his clients as people, not numbers. I have worked with Gord for 12 years and have always felt that he has been attentive to my needs as a client and he has undoubtedly shown that his clients are very special to him.
Gord set up our new law firm’s benefits plan 11 years ago and was attentive to all the details and questions that arose so that we obtained the best benefits plan for our office and staff. Gord has always had our best interests in mind and has done a great job communicating with the insurers and our staff. He has been invaluable in assisting us in implementing and then maintaining our plan while keeping costs down. I have no hesitation recommending Gord to any business, large or small, as he will provide outstanding service.
In his spare time, Gord runs a fundraiser for the Vajra Vidya Foundation which raises money for the Shree Mangal Dvip Boarding School located in Nepal. He likes to stay active where he is an avid skier and golfer. Gord also enjoys long bike rides where he can take in the sights of beautiful Vancouver and the mountainous North Shore. He loves spending time with his wife and daughter, and for many years coached his daughter’s softball team. Now, they play together in an adult softball league. After a long day of activities, you can find Gord in his kitchen cooking his specialty homemade pizza.
