When George McLean Sr. started selling insurance in 1922, there were only a handful of cars in the area and most of the roads were unpaved. McLean, a former lumberjack, philosophy student and soldier, served as Mayor of Orillia in 1924 and later, federal member of parliament. His son, George Jr., who joined the firm in 1948, bought his father out two years later and brought in partner Marwood “Dick” Dickey shortly after. Over the years, McLean & Dickey developed a reputation for knowing their customers’ needs and providing exceptional personal service.
George McLean Jr. had a generous, outgoing nature and was genuinely interested in people. He was heavily involved with the community and served as Mayor in Orillia in 1961-62.
Wayne MacIntosh, who had been working as a claims adjuster in office upstairs from McLean & Dickey on Peter Street, joined the firm in 1973. “Dick” Dickey retired in 1978 and George Jr. brought in Bill Hamilton in 1976 and Bill Adams in 1979. Both had been working at major insurance companies. The trio of Bill, Bill and Wayne purchased the firm when George McLean retired in 1986.
Fast forward to today and McLean & Dickey is Orillia’s leading insurance company. While many things have changed since the company was founded, our reputation for understanding and serving our clients’ needs remains at the forefront of everything we do.
We offer a variety of insurance such as:
