As we head into 2017, Costen Insurance is excited to celebrate its 30th year in business!
Costen Insurance, formerly known as Costen & Associates Insurance and Financial Planning Ltd., was founded by Larry Costen. Larry started his insurance career in the early 80’s, working for Imperial Life selling life insurance and other financial products. After being asked by many of his clients if he could provide them with insurance for their home and auto, Larry decided to venture into the world of general insurance. He started Costen & Associates and incorporated the company in 1987.
Throughout the years, we have had many wonderful people join the Costen Team. Today, we have a solid Team of knowledgeable and friendly Brokers who have helped us grow and succeed into the wonderful family-run business we are today. We would like to thank our amazing Costen Family, many of who are celebrating milestone anniversaries this year, for all of their hard work and dedication to their career, our clients, and our business.
