Declan O'Reilly

Financial Advisor/Owner*

Mutual Fund Investment Specialist**

Welcome to O'Reilly Insurance Ltd. Our goal is to be the natural choice for all your insurance needs and to help you take care of the "what ifs" in life.

We offer all lines of insurance and our experienced Associate Advisors can customize your insurance portfolio to meet your specific needs.

Our service goes beyond the paperwork. We're here to break down your insurance policies in understandable terms, offer expert advice, answer all your questions, and to be a friendly place to stop by and visit. Our office is conveniently located on Ludlow Street in the University Heights area of Saskatoon. Give us a call today! We'll be happy to provide you with a no-obligation quote and to discuss our extensive discount program.

A little information about me: I have been in the insurance industry for over 25 years, with 17 years as an agency owner with Co-operators. I have worked in many roles as a producer, owner and recruiter.

My favourite line of insurance is business/commercial insurance. As a small business owner myself, I love helping clients find the proper coverage for their businesses. It's gratifying to meet so many wonderful business owners in our city and see them succeed in entrepreneurship.

I have seven children and two grandchildren. We're a blended family and enjoy every moment of it.

I love to travel and am very involved in different organizations. Giving back to the community is important to me, as through the years I've met many wonderful individuals in our city who have supported us.

When I'm not at the office, you'll often find me at the go-karting track in Martensville, or at the lake, enjoying a book.

Gordon Ross

Farm Specialist

Gordon joined the farm and hail insurance industry in 1988 and began working for Co-operators in 1996 as a Farm and Commercial Specialist. In addition to insurance, Gordon had an extensive farming career, from which he retired in 2012. Because of this experience, he connects to our farm insurance clients on a whole different level.

He is coming up to his 35th anniversary in the industry and has seen all the challenges and transitions that our farm clients have had to overcome in the past few decades. Even though he no longer farms, you can still find him out in the field or on the road visiting his clients.

Gord loves to spend time with his family. He has three sons and six grandchildren and when he's not with them, he's busy cheering on his favourite sports team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
