About NationWest

Our roots date back to 1937 when we were known as C.W. Pooles & Co. Then in 2006 under new ownership we became a member of Coughlin Insurance Brokers. 2009 saw the acquisition of Regent Insurance Brokers. In 2012 a new era was launched, and Nation West was born. In 2015 Consumers Insurance was acquired. In 2021 Nation West joined the Canadian Broker Network.
