“Bow Valley Insurance is one the leading insurance brokerages in Calgary,” said Gohill, in a news release “I am delighted to purchase these successful and vibrant operations, and to continue to offer our clients the professional, hands-on service that they have been accustomed to receiving for the past 25 years.”

. Gohill co-founded Bow Valley Insurance Services in 1979. He sold the business to Toronto-based Vector Intermediaries Inc. in 1995, remaining as president of the Alberta branches of the Vector network.
