The company offers various types of coverage, including commercial property and commercial liability. They describe themselves as a specialist commercial insurer that focuses on both existing products and custom-built solutions designed to meet specific customer needs.

Wynward Insurance Group operates exclusively through a broker network, emphasizing that broker relationships are the backbone of their business. Established in 1920, the company originated from a group of prairie grain companies that chartered Grain Insurance & Guarantee to address high fire insurance premiums for grain elevators. The company rebranded in 2013 to reflect its expanded service offerings. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Winnipeg-based James Richardson & Sons, Limited, the group engages in corporate philanthropy through the Richardson Foundation, which supports charitable organizations in areas such as education, youth initiatives, and the arts. They are an A-rated carrier and maintain a commitment to community involvement through annual United Way campaigns.
