"Montridge Financial Group has been the benefits consultant for two organizations where I have been the director. It was because of their excellent customer service that I thought of them when my new organization was looking at switching benefit companies. They are friendly, professional and extremely responsive when we have problems or questions with our benefits insurers. We not only receive great service, but service that is prompt.

More recently we have contracted with Montridge to handle our RRSPs for our staff team. The Montridge team checks in with us on a regular basis and provides educational sessions for staff upon request.
I have recommended Montridge Financial Group to other colleagues and do not hesitate to recommend them to you."

"We considered a benefit plan for our small company more than seven years ago. John Medrzycki came to see us and it was obvious he was very professional and knew what he was talking about.

Montridge represents the epitome of service. We always feel that John goes to bat for us, and continues to convey an air of excitement when talking about his service and the industry he works in.

We have been approached many times by people stating they could 'save us money' on our benefit plan. We have never considered changing. Service is what sets companies apart and Montridge is all about service."
