SURREY, BC/Territories of the Coast Salish (Kwantlen, Katzie, Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen First Nations), March 19, 2025 – Westland Insurance has announced the launch of its new benefits brand, Westland Benefits, in British Columbia, effective April 1, 2025. This strategic move consolidates the company’s acquired benefits firms under one national brand to better serve businesses across Canada.

Matt Mann has been appointed as the President of Westland Benefits. Mann’s experience in the benefits sector, combined with his proven leadership in the insurance industry, positions him to oversee the growth and expansion of Westland Benefits nationwide.
“We are excited to introduce Westland Benefits to British Columbia,” said Jamie Lyons, President & CEO of Westland Insurance. “Over the past few years, we have made significant investments in strengthening our Employee Benefits offerings, including acquiring several high-performing advisory firms. Bringing these capabilities together under one unified brand—led by Matt—allows us to better serve our clients, compete more effectively in the market, and drive innovation at scale.”
The launch of Westland Benefits is intended to provide a wider range of benefits solutions, including group life and disability insurance, retirement and savings plans, key person coverage, and wellness programs to companies across most of Canada. Plans are in place to expand the Westland Benefits brand nationally.
“Launching the Westland Benefits brand in BC is just the beginning—we’re at a breakthrough stage in terms of developing our national platform,” said Matt Mann, President of Westland Benefits. “I’m excited to lead this next chapter as we expand our operations across Canada. By bringing together our advisory culture, access to national insurance markets, and deep industry expertise, we’re uniquely positioned to help businesses of all sizes build competitive and high impact benefits programs.”
As part of the transition, Westland Benefits will integrate the operations of Dupuis Langen and Montridge Advisory Group, well-regarded benefits firms which have contributed to the company’s success. Clients will continue to receive the same level of service and expertise under the new unified brand.
The introduction of Westland Benefits reflects Westland Insurance’s commitment to assisting Canadian businesses in navigating the benefits landscape, offering them innovative solutions that prioritize employee well-being and business success.
