Making a Tradition of the Non-traditional
At Dion Durrell, we love to be told that something is impossible. That's because we see our role not as pushing numbers around but as applying actuarial and insurance expertise to business challenges.

Dion Durrell is a leading team of actuarial and insurance consultants. We create and implement innovative strategies which encompass risk financing, insurance management and insurance distribution solutions. Our uniqueness rests in our ability to provide far more than actuarial analysis. We can also design the best structure to fit the challenge and, if appropriate, implement and manage the solution on our client's behalf.

Most of all, we never take things at face value. It isn't unusual for us to bring together associates from various areas of our firm to brainstorm ideas about a problem. As a result, we have a reputation for uncovering the possibilities in seemingly impossible situations.

Challenging The Status Quo
As an independent consulting firm, Dion Durrell has no vested interest in the status quo. Therefore, we are free to look in new directions for uncharted opportunities. We then explore those opportunities, while guiding our clients safely through the complexities.

Most of what we do initiates change. However, change need not be disruptive. For example, it might involve finding new ways to work more efficiently within existing relationships, and reaching for the win win solution.

Our innovative, strategic approach rests on the knowledge, experience and imagination of creative, entrepreneurially minded staff and professionals. They combine depth of experience with academic credentials varying from actuarial science, business administration and accounting, to law and engineering.

Promoting Clear Communication
Actuaries and insurance specialists are not usually noted for their clarity. Yet, clarity is precisely why many clients retain Dion Durrell. They value our ability to communicate complex messages or outcomes -- including highly technical data and actuarial concepts -- so that all parties can understand. Insurers and reinsurers have also told us how much they appreciate the level of detail and comprehensiveness of our documentation. This ensures that both sides have considered all the implications and can make informed decisions.

One benefit of this approach is that it topples the barriers between our clients and the insurance providers. Clear communication facilitates a dialogue between the parties, allowing clients to know exactly what to expect. Everything progresses more smoothly, with no surprises --another way in which our firm acts as an agent of positive change.

Giving Real Meaning To Partnership
Our history is rooted in success-- in long-term relationships with a diversity of clients, including some of North America's leading financial institutions, corporations, universities, healthcare institutions and governments, as well as industry and professional associations. Many of these relationships began more than two decades ago.

The secret of this longevity is that Dion Durrell believes we don't succeed unless you do. Our associates work with a single goal: to deliver significant and consistent value.
