Founded in 1980 by Norman Trudel, GMI employs an ever expanding support team, now more than 60 members strong. Having expanded recently into their large corporate headquarters facility, Norm Trudel explains, "the space is perfect for our company culture and with the growth we have had and are expecting in the future, this move was a necessity."

Norm continues to be the guiding force behind the insurance services provider's success but has assigned the function of the day-to-day business operations to another generation of Trudel siblings.

Conversing with current and prospective Rental Fleet insurance customers and independent agents, Mark carries through on the company's 25 year commitment to personalized service.
