OUR HISTORY

Home-Page-Photo-Blades

 

The original consulting firm was founded in 1926 by John R. Blades to provide independent and unbiased insurance advisory services to clients on a fee basis. Arthur Macaulay Jr. joined John Blades as a partner in 1949 and then John Crout in 1968 to form Blades, Macaulay and Crout. They continued to represent the interests of their clients only, choosing not to sell or place insurance.

Arthur Proulx merged his insurance consulting practice with John Crout’s in late 2008 to form Blades, Crout & Proulx LLC. Today, Arthur is involved with all client accounts and continues the commitment to provide the highest level of professional service and complete objectivity in conclusions and recommendations.
