Managing Partner (Franchise Opportunity) - BIG Bradford

Billyard Insurance Group is coming to Bradford, and we're looking for the right person to lead it. From the storefronts along Holland Street to the young families putting down roots in the new subdivisions east of Highway 400, people here are loyal to businesses that show up for them. They buy homes here, farm the Holland Marsh, and commute into the GTA every day, and they want an insurance broker who actually knows them. That's exactly what BIG Bradford will be.

As the Managing Partner of BIG Bradford, you won't just be opening an office, you'll be becoming part of the fabric of Bradford West Gwillimbury. You'll serve the families enjoying Rotary Park and the trails through Fred Grant Forest, support the farmers and tradespeople who keep this town's economy moving, and build the kind of client relationships that Bradford people are known for valuing. In a market anchored by the Holland Marsh's agricultural economy, a steady flow of commuters off the Bradford GO line, and one of the fastest-growing populations in Simcoe County, the opportunity is real and it's ready.

What does a BIG Managing Partner do?

You're the owner-operator of your branch. You lead your team, grow your book, and build something that's genuinely yours, with the full infrastructure of a national brokerage behind you.

• Build your branch: Recruit and lead a team of brokers rooted in the Bradford and broader South Simcoe County market, setting the culture and pace for your operation.
• Drive new business: Grow your client base through referral networks, community relationships, and your team's sales activity, in a city that's growing steadily and flying under most brokerages' radar.

• Represent the brand: Become a trusted, client-first insurance leader in Bradford, backed by one of Canada's fastest-growing brokerages.
• Stay ahead: Access BIG U training, internal underwriting expertise, and the collective knowledge of 100+ Managing Partners across the country.
