INTERVIEW | UNDERWRITING AGENCIES COUNCIL

Underwriters are more important than ever Business is booming, and for the first time in two years the Underwriting Agencies Council may hold most of its events in person. UAC leaders William Legge and Kurt Nilsen say 2022 is shaping up nicely as underwriters look to capitalise on their role as a trusted market for brokers

YOU COULD say William Legge and Kurt Nilsen are raring to go. “Member feedback is overwhelmingly positive about 2022 and what the year is going to bring,” says Nilsen, chair of the Underwriting Agencies Council. As COVID-19 restrictions finally lift, Legge, UAC’s general manager, is eagerly anticipating visiting members in person, many for the first time in two years. There are also UAC Expos planned for every state capital. “We’ve planned for nine expos this year, which is quite a considerable number – more than we normally do,” says Legge. UAC is also staging more seminars and webinars. Legge says they were “enormously popular” last year, with 600 sign-ups for the first one. The seminars will be hybrid events, so simultaneously in-person and via video conferencing. “We’re going to do hybrids because I think the market likes these to get the information, because it’s not always easy to come into the CBDs,” says Legge. The move to hybrid accommodates the flexible work arrangements of many

members, as well as the possibility of more pandemic restrictions. Whatever is ahead in 2022, both Nilsen and Legge are confident that they have a punchy program that will bring together underwriting members with their broker customers. That’s not to say 2021 was a flop – far

increased last year partly because these industry professionals were unable to attend their own offices and were eager for ways to engage. Nilsen agrees. “Ironically, we probably actually got to talk more than in a nonCOVID environment,” he says.

“We want to get back to doing business; that’s the bottom line. So putting on the expos and creating training platforms – that’s absolutely vital; that’s critical” Kurt Nilsen, Underwriting Agencies Council from it. Despite the pandemic, events were staged, including seminars and webinars and some expos. “I think all up it was disappointing around the expos, but we still had a good year despite the challenges,” says Nilsen. Legge says the support UAC received from both its own members and brokers

Business is booming Legge says there’s another reason for UAC’s surprisingly successful 2021: “Business is booming”. The UAC general manager says this growth has defied the pandemic restrictions that severely impacted other parts of Australia’s economy.

“A lot of business was being let go by carriers ... so brokers had to find a new home quickly, and that’s when they really turned to our industry” William Legge, Underwriting Agencies Council “It’s been going for the last four years, and bluntly, we can’t see an end at this stage. So, during 2021, even though we were locked at home so to speak, it did not affect the business,” he says. Legge says his organisation spent the year “besieged with broker enquiries”. His members are still reaping the benefits of the widespread portfolio stabilisation and capacity shrinkage that has occurred in

recent years across the insurance industry. The most famous example of that process was the Lloyd’s ‘Decile 10’ initiative launched in 2018. “That meant a lot of business was being let go by carriers who had kept it for quite a few years, so brokers had to find a new home quickly, and that’s when they really turned to our industry,” says Legge. When brokers turned to his members

for answers, they got them, he adds. “It might not have always been the answer they wanted, but it was near enough; they got the thing placed. That’s a very important thing from the broker’s point of view and from the client’s point of view.” The result today is that underwriters are now a trusted and reliable market for brokers. “Brokers are now used to dealing with underwriting agencies. Five or six years ago I think their preference would have been to deal directly with an insurance company, because in their minds it was better to deal with the principal than an agent,” he says. That approach has been turned on its head, says Legge, because over the last few years brokers have found that dealing with an underwriting agency often results in more responsive service and quicker turnaround times than with an insurer.

INTERVIEW | UNDERWRITING AGENCIES COUNCIL

“Eight out of 10 times, if they ring somebody in an underwriting agency’s office, they’re going to get the person who’s going to be giving them an answer,” he says. Legge says that when a broker calls a UAC member’s office, the person who picks up the phone is usually someone who can provide a direct ‘yes’, ‘no’ or ‘let’s negotiate’ answer to their

agency, Lion Underwriting. Over the next 12 months he sees the insurance industry market remaining much the same. “People talk about the next soft market, but in all honesty I think the market that we’re reading now is the normal market. It’s not a hard market any more. This is just the norm,” he says.

“I think the insurers have realised that the agencies can deliver to the market a lot quicker and probably a lot more cost-effectively than they can” Kurt Nilsen, Underwriting Agencies Council question. “That’s really what the broker wants. They want to be moving forward all the time rather than to be told someone will get back.” Nilsen adds: “I think the insurers have realised, and rightfully so, that the agencies can deliver to the market a lot quicker and probably a lot more cost-effectively than they can.” So, what does the future hold for UAC members? Nilsen is also managing director of his own

The capacity that has eased up a little he credits to Lloyd’s syndicates. Nilsen says the big insurers in Australia aren’t showing much sign right now of writing new business. “Recent weather events are certainly not going to make that easy either. With their cost of capital, there’s no investment returns,” says Nilsen. But despite being competitors, underwriters and insurers are also partners.

“We’re close to insurers,” says Nilsen. “We’ve got Lloyd’s, and we have QBE as sponsors, and they are there for a reason. They understand our model,” he says.

Technology challenges Both underwriters and insurers are facing technology challenges as the entire industry goes through a digital transformation. Some underwriters, says Nilsen, are unwilling to embrace the new world. “I think there are underwriting agencies that are certainly not taking on board the change. Either they specialise where they feel they don’t need it, or they’re just ignoring the fact, to be honest,” he says. Nilsen says there’s broad awareness among underwriters that insurance is becoming more transactional. “We’re all very much aware that insurance is becoming more transactional, but at the same time we don’t want to lose the personal touch – and that’s where agencies add a lot of value.” He says it’s important that underwriting agencies invest in this transactional piece, especially now that their businesses are playing in it more and more.

“I think every agency, bar a few, has discussed technology quite openly amongst other members,” he says. In fact, some agencies even have their own in-house developers. He says the results can be “mind boggling”. “This used to be the prerogative of the major insurers because of the sheer volume of capital required,” Nilsen says. “Nowadays that sheer volume of capital is not necessarily required to get very, very good results in a technology.” Legge says UAC has moved with the times and can help members find the right technology partner. In years past, UAC’s Business Service Memberships were filled by lawyers, loss adjusters and loss assessors. Today, many of those memberships are taken up by technology providers. “It’s quite amazing,” he says.

Regulatory changes Legge expects more regulatory actions from ASIC (the Australian Securities and Investments Commission) and APRA (the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority). He says much of this activity is the ongoing impact of the Hayne Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry.

He describes the regulatory load in 2021 as “enormous”. Nilsen says that despite the warnings, there was too much to implement in a short period. “We were all scrambling around. It felt like it was deadline after deadline after deadline.” Part of the problem, he says, was how pandemic restrictions meant that discussions with consultants about implementation of the changes had to be conducted virtually. “It’s a necessary evil, there’s no doubt about it, but it’s a costly and very time-consuming part of every single business now,” he says.

Simon Lightbody

Despite its moving parts, from regulatory hurdles to technology transformations, Legge and Nilsen are both confident about the year ahead. Business is good, the relationship with brokers has never been stronger, and the role of underwriters in the industry is more important than ever. Meanwhile, UAC’s event calendar is filling up. “We want to get back to doing business, that’s the bottom line. So putting on the expos and creating training platforms – that’s absolutely vital; that’s critical,” says Nilsen.

SECTOR BRIEFING | MOTOR CLAIMS

Motor claims 2022 and beyond Innovation Group is forging ahead as new technology promises to revolutionise the customer experience and provide opportunities for brokers in motor claims

IMAGINE A world in which all you had to do was take a photo of damage to your car, and an AI program would automatically assess the damage, what type of repairs were needed, and find a nearby shop that had the skills, parts and time to fix it within the next few days without you lifting a finger. Such a service could be coming to a damaged car near you sooner than many people think. While it seems implausible now, this type of technology is very much a reality in other parts of the world, says Innovation Group managing director Drew Schnehage. A tie-up between Innovation Group and a global leader in the field was expected to deliver a solution like the above to their clients in 2022. “We’re currently testing and calibrating the AI to determine an estimate of the damage in Phase 1 of this project,” says Schnehage. This scenario is only one of many technological innovations in motor insurance that are currently underway. Technology gains are the big silver lining to COVID-19, with many nascent solutions that already existed before 2020, like Zoom, being thrust into the mainstream. “There have been huge advances in the last 24 months, with many new insurtechs with

great ideas, solutions and technology, but the insurance market in Australia is still playing catch-up,” says Schnehage. “Insurance companies need to keep up with the advances of big tech, but unfortunately they are still struggling with old legacy platforms. The much-needed scope to integrate with partners and suppliers is lagging.” But just because there’s common knowledge of such things as QR codes, that may not mean customers necessarily want to see more of them. “Do our customers want a digital solution when they lodge a claim, or do they still want to speak to a person?” Tech could certainly solve the problem of cumbersome manual processes and double capture of information that currently riddle the insurance industry, causing often-clunky customer experiences. “People still play an important role to assist customers when they don’t understand the process,” Schnehage says. “It’s vital to understand how you find the sweet spot in your process between technology and the human touch.” The main challenge is to integrate digital technology within the motor claims process, and this means integrating not just on the customer-facing side but also with the

software platforms used by insurers, brokers, partners and suppliers. Innovation Group’s brokers are mainly interested in how easy or difficult it is to lodge a claim for a policyholder without having to do it manually or capture it into a portal. “They want to be involved and ahead of the process to keep their customers up to date. They want personalised service, they want relationships, they want quick turnaround times. They don’t want mistakes; they want trust,” Schnehage says. To come up with solutions that would make the process simple, visible and collaborative, Innovation decided to draw on its deep knowledge of motor claims and more

This offering includes specialist assessments, bespoke network and repair management, recoveries, and third-party proactive and risk management solutions to the insurance and fleet industry across Australia.

It engaged its fleet managers and drivers to better understand what they wanted, and found the same big-ticket items kept coming up in conversation. How can you make it easier for our drivers to lodge a claim? How do you keep the driver and the fleet manager informed

in real time? How do you manage average repair costs and reduce the time off-road? “But they also want someone on the other side of the phone that understands the customer’s anxiety,” says Schnehage. One area that Innovation Group has focused on in the last couple of months is the smart use of digital technology within the motor claims process to enhance the customer experience and enable speedy and accurate identification of damage, combined with tools to allocate the most appropriate repairer when fleet drivers lodge a claim. “Our online lodgement tool is available to our clients and their customers via a dedicated link or QR code, or even embedded within a

Innovation Group has been able to whitelabel the tool for its clients, giving them their own online lodgement experience. “Taking the process a step further, the driver can select a repairer of their choice via the online mobile lodgement process, including the upload or live video streaming of digital images automated to the repairer to start quoting without physically having the car.” The online lodgement tool is integrated into Innovation’s back-end platform, making it easy for lodgement claims agents to pick up the incident and action the next steps, in a process that brokers and policyholders would also be familiar with. “The ability for a policyholder to be able to notify a motor claim online with an immediate notification to the broker will vastly enhance the customer experience,” says Schnehage. The broker could then immediately contact the policyholder to assist and support them.

OPINION

Travel insurance post COVID As travel requirements change during the pandemic, brokers need to be more vigilant than ever about the insurance cover they source for clients, writes Clinton Hall of Solution Underwriting Agency

WITH THE world finally opening up again after months of restrictions and lockdowns, people have never felt more inclined to reconnect with each other. COVID-19 may have reshaped our world and the way we do business, but after endless days of working remotely and Zoom calls, nothing compares to face-to-face human interaction to maintain and build strong working relationships, which the reopening of travel will ultimately provide. The prospect of recommencing travel, however, can be daunting, and with still so much uncertainty, employers want to ensure that they are providing the best duty of care to protect their most important asset – their people. While some underwriters have adapted their travel products to include coverage for COVID-19 in their wording or via endorsement to meet the changing needs of travellers, brokers must be aware that many have not. The following are five key factors to consider when purchasing a travel insurance policy:

Does the policy provide loss of deposits costs if a traveller contracts COVID-19 prior to commencing a journey? It is important to check if there are any cover requirements under the policy. For example, a traveller might need to have any diagnosis certified by a medical practitioner and for the diagnosis to be made after the policy is purchased and the trip booked and also within a 14-day period preceding the prebooked commencement of the trip.

Does the policy provide overseas medical expenses to protect a traveller if they were to contract COVID-19 while travelling in a foreign country? Given the high medical costs in some countries or the need for payment guarantees to hospitals, it is important that, should a traveller need to seek medical attention or be hospitalised

Does the policy provide cancellation/curtailment costs if a traveller contracts COVID-19 and is ordered into mandatory quarantine by the government or public health authority? It is important to check whether cover will be provided for both domestic and overseas travel. The policy might even extend to providing a daily self-isolation payment.

overseas for COVID-19, the policy will respond. There are countries, particularly in Southeast Asia, that now request all foreign nationals entering to have travel insurance for COVID-19 treatment, with a minimum coverage requirement. If this is a prerequisite for a visa or a pre-entry requirement, then ask your underwriter if a certificate of currency can be provided highlighting medical costs in relation to COVID-19.

However, this could be limited to overseas travel only. Note that any mandatory self-isolation or quarantine requirements for entering or travelling through any area, border, region or country might not be covered. For example, if a traveller needs to undertake seven days’ isolation as a pre-entry requirement to a certain country, this might not be covered. Does the policy provide cancellation/curtailment costs if a traveller contracts COVID-19 and is hospitalised in a foreign country? If a traveller is hospitalised for COVID-19 and must alter their travel plans, it is important to know if the policy will respond any differently to being hospitalised due to any other sickness.

Does the policy provide COVID-19 cover for business and leisure travel? Questions may arise around whether there is any difference in COVID-19 policy response and level of cover when it comes to, for example, an employee going on a business trip or a director taking a leisure trip. It is important to note that any refunds or credits that a traveller is eligible to receive might be deducted from the amount payable for a claim, and they would need to take this into consideration when booking a trip. A traveller should also always check that it is safe to travel to a destination, as COVID-19 coverage and the policy response could depend on the type of alert level the country has. Information on safe travel is available at www.smartraveller.gov.au. As the world continues to open up, the team at Solution and I look forward to businesses reconnecting safely and confidently.

Clinton Hall is the national team leader and senior accident and health underwriter at Solution Underwriting Agency. As a Kiwi living in Melbourne, he’s more excited than most about international travel recommencing.

All Parks Insurance All Parks Insurance has put together a specialised insurance product that has your caravan park, camping ground, holiday village and home estate insurance needs in mind.

02 4355 4027

allparks@allparks.com.au

ALL PARKS INSURANCE is a specialised underwriting agency that was established in May 2011 to cover the specialised needs of the caravan park proprietor. Our policy was written specifically for caravan parks and is therefore unlike the majority of policies offered by other insurers, who simply try to adapt their standard commercial package policy wordings. All Parks Insurance might seem a new contender in the market, but director Julie Pernecker isn’t. The former manager of Parks Insurance and more recently Lumley Insurance, Julie is now heading up All Parks Insurance, making it the number one insurer for caravan parks in Australia. Before selling Parks Insurance in 2006, Julie and her father, Rob, had established themselves as insurance specialists for the parks and resorts industry. With more than 20 years of experience in insuring caravan parks, Julie and her team understand that your everyday insurance needs require special attention, and they are here to make sure it all runs smoothly.

www.allparks.com.au

At All Parks Insurance, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional service and a superior specialised wording to match. Our goals are to become the market leader in this specialised field and to return to the park operator the information and tools necessary to minimise loss exposure and therefore keep premiums as low as possible. We in no way wish to bulldoze any operator to conform to our rules, but equally, we do not wish to insure operators who will not help themselves by changing bad work practices. As we do not have branches in all towns, it is not practical to be on hand to meet the total day-to-day insurance needs of all park operators. To overcome this, All Parks Insurance has elected to wholesale through licensed insurance brokerages. We are proud of our product and of the industry we support: yours. So give us a call today on 02 4355 4027, or email allparks@allparks.com.au. You can also find out more about us at www.allparks.com.au. We are your road to a good night’s sleep.

PRODUCTS Insurance for: • Caravan parks • Camping grounds • Lifestyle villages • Boutique accommodation • Glamping • Nudist resorts • Cyber event protection at the above properties

JULIE PERNECKER, CEO/DIRECTOR JULIE PERNECKER joined the insurance industry in 1996 as part of her father’s underwriting agency, Parks Insurance. She then decided to expand her knowledge of insurance by taking a position at an international broking firm. However, after two years, she made the move back to the family business so she could continue to specialise in insuring caravan parks. Before selling Parks Insurance to Lumley in 2006, Julie and her father, Rob, had established themselves as parks and resorts industry insurance specialists,

increasing their portfolio from just 22 parks to more than 1,400 Australiawide. Julie had built many wonderful relationships with her customers and couldn’t dream of not being there for them, so when the business was sold, she ensured that she was able to join the Lumley team, where she would still be able to apply her expertise and support her clients. Julie and her team started up All Parks Insurance in 2011, and her aim for the business remains unchanged: to continue

supporting the caravan park industry as a specialist underwriting agency. Julie sees the caravan park industry as part of her extended family and strives to provide its members with the old-fashioned service and work ethic they deserve. She values commitment, honesty and integrity and is there to take each step in the insurance process along with her clients, from the beginning right through to the end. Julie is an ANZIIF (Senior Associate) CIP and also holds a Diploma of Financial Services in Insurance Broking.

www.arag.com.au

The ARAG offering provides an addition or alternative to other insurances like management liability and general liability, or an addition to your clients’ landlord, home and contents or boat insurance to enhance their protection. It is essential to business’s risk management programs. All of ARAG Australia’s products provide access to a number of valuable resources, including a Legal Helpline as well as a Legal Document Centre. These resources support clients in preventing issues before they need to make a claim. Available with these services are documents such as templates for employment contracts, termination notices, letters of demand, cease and desist notices, wills, and lease agreements. The cover also provides a dedicated phone Helpline, which is available for any matter, regardless of your policy type.

change and growth, while weaving this growth into the overall insurance market.

As a people-focused leader in the insurance industry, Gale is authentic, outcome-oriented, and steers a clear direction for LEI’s distribution in Australia. Gale emphasises that the pronunciation of ‘ARAG’ should be “AHR-agh” – it’s an acronym of the parent company’s name, which means ‘legal protection insurance’ in German.

info@coastins.com.au

COAST INSURANCE is the newly rebranded underwriting agency formerly known as Trident Underwriting. It offers a variety of marine and nonmarine insurance products to the Australian broker network. The start of 2022 has seen Coast showcase its new product offering to the market and provide niche insurance solutions to its broker partners. Now offering property and liability products for non-marine industries, Coast has sparked some interest in the market. General manager of underwriting Stephanie Muller explains that the response from the market has been quite overwhelming. “The feedback around our new brand has been really positive,” she says. “Brokers are keen to hear what we have to offer and have been particularly interested in our newly launched commercial property and liability products for non-marine industries.” Coast’s launch is timely, given the emerging trends shaping the insurance sector. “The industry has been

www.coastins.com.au

very much cyclical, with ever-present challenges such as recent catastrophic weather events, not to mention COVID-19’s impact on the market,” Muller says. “It feels as though there are some major shifts these days, with these events providing learning opportunities for us and the sector as a whole.” She says this backdrop has been an opportunity for underwriting agencies such as Coast to shine. “We bring the old-school ways of doing business that brokers crave to the table. For instance, we understand the importance and value of strong relationships and sound financial backing. At the same time, clients benefit from the efficiencies our investment in new technology delivers. It’s a powerful and unparalleled combination,” Muller says. “So, while brokers are always able to pick up the phone and talk to one of our experts, they are equally able to contact us electronically and glean huge amounts of information from our website.”

PRODUCTS Coast Insurance has five subdivisions: Property • Business packages • Industrial special risks Liability • Broadform liability • Resource contractors P&I Legal Expenses Marine Industry • Business packages • Industrial special risks • Marine combined liability • Environmental impairment liability • Demonstration craft

STEPHANIE MULLER, GENERAL MANAGER — UNDERWRITING THERE ARE very few people with as deep an understanding of marine insurance as Stephanie Muller. She started working at Trident Underwriting as a junior underwriter nearly 16 years ago. Over that time, she has extended her experience into commercial property and liability classes, moving into various managerial positions in the business, the most recent being general manager of underwriting. Muller is excited about the new direction Coast is taking the business in and the ability to build on Trident’s lengthy history and industry-leading position. Her role as general manager of underwriting sees her lead the agency and its staff to effectively and efficiently service the broker network.

“I’m proud of the team we have built here and thoroughly enjoy mentoring our talented emerging leaders. I’m a strong believer in high customer service and going that extra mile for our brokers, so I strive to instil these values into our team. “We have been helping our broker partners address their clients’ risks for 27 years. Over that time, we have established Trident as the leading Australian marine underwriter. We are now able to lend that experience to our new business, Coast Insurance. The move allows us to combine the best of the new and the old to continue delivering outstanding service for our valued long-term broker partners, as well as a growing cohort of new brokers, by offering solutions across a more diverse range of industry sectors.”

He is well known in the market for providing exceptional service and support to brokers, and always has a ‘can do’ attitude when working collaboratively with brokers and helping to win business.

What do you see as FTA’s most important feature as a company? ‘Fast Turn Around’ (it’s in our name!) is the most important thing to brokers, and it is to us too. How have recent events – such as the pandemic or the Russia-Ukraine conflict – impacted your business? The pandemic forced us to a better work-life balance, and we have continued to encourage this with our team and our brokers so that all of us are happier and more productive.

What do you think is the biggest current challenge in the underwriting market? Finding an insurer who will actually engage with the broker and then – if within appetite – apply terms that reflect the exposure. This is partly due to the harder market but also due to people being able to hide behind technology. FTA underwriters are always encouraged to talk to their broker and find out what’s going on and how we can help. Have you introduced any new products recently? We continue to have the best white-collar

FTA continues to grow its underwriting team with a senior underwriter added to the team in Sydney, an underwriting manager in Brisbane and now a growing team in Melbourne. Is there an agency achievement you’re most proud of? The 5-Star Professional Indemnity Award for the second year running, meaning brokers are voting FTA Insurance as the best provider of professional indemnity insurance in the Australian market. Can you describe the ideal broker to work with? We love brokers who want to work collaboratively and transparently to get a good deal for their client with full coverage. FTA is keen to win new business, and our ideal brokers want to expand their books too. What would be your best tip for brokers who are looking to have a better relationship with underwriting agencies? Insureds want profitable insurers so that premiums remain consistent, claims get paid and service standards are maintained. FTA brings together low-exposure insureds to ensure they receive consistently competitive premiums, which helps our brokers win more new business. What do you think is the biggest attribute an underwriting agency offers a broker? People who care and value their brokers, and people who aren’t looking to move onto the next rung up the ladder but instead want to grow their

“FTA brings together low-exposure insureds to ensure they receive consistently competitive premiums, which helps our brokers win more new business” business by looking after their brokers. Do you have any plans for broker engagement, both now and in the future? FTA’s strategy remains to put underwriters in each state so that brokers and underwriters can hold each other accountable and FTA’s engagement with its brokers is extended.

If you could change one thing about underwriting or insurance, what would it be? For people to actively seek out this profession, for underwriters to really understand the claims histories of their portfolios, and for us to all work collaboratively to provide long-term consistency to clients.

MECON Insurance At MECON, our passion is to deliver solutions and provide value to our brokers and clients through education, service and innovation. 02 9252 1040

support@mecon.com.au

IN THIS magazine last year, MECON highlighted the changes the company had made to adapt to the pandemic. This year, it would seem ongoing change is the new normal. We’ve gone from remote working to a hybrid return to work; we launched our completely revamped broker platform, MECONLINE; and we’ve also added new faces to our leadership team – none better placed to talk to us about what’s next for MECON than new general manager (formerly Victorian state manager) Jon Denney. But first, a bit about Denney’s background. Denney has worked in the insurance industry since 1995, first in the UK and then in Australia since 2013. Like most of us, he ‘fell’ into insurance, though it sounds like it was more of a push. Once Denney had completed his university degree and worked for a while at a factory, his dad told him that after putting him through university he expected to see him get a career. And that’s just what he’s done – with experience spanning global insurers and underwriting agencies, in underwriting, distribution and management positions. So, why did Denney choose MECON? Initially, Denney met with MECON chief executive Glenn Ross, and Ross shared his vision for the company of ambitious growth while maintaining the culture of a close-knit family firm. Six years on, Denney now helps lead a team that’s proud to represent MECON, with low staff turnover and strong internal promotions. What’s Denney’s vision for MECON? “A lot of my vision is evolution, not revolution,” he says. “We’ve not grown by accident. We’ve grown through keeping brokers at the forefront of everything we do, by giving our brokers access to good products, service, claims and training. “In addition to our reputation and longevity – 18

years! – one of our strengths as MECON is that we’re specialists; we don’t try to be everything to everyone. “On the flip side of that, the construction industry itself is facing challenges,” Denney adds. “You’ve seen builders going out of business, from the top end of town through to family companies, with the whole industry facing supply chain issues and material shortages. “It’s a complex class of business to write and manage, and a lot of brokers don’t specialise in construction. That’s where we come in – we’re here to make life easier for our brokers and guide them through understanding coverage, placing a risk, and walking them through claims as well. “Balance is a big part of our future plans, especially as we move into COVID normal. Our team is transitioning back to working in the office and continuing to give brokers that level of service and accessibility. But at the same time, we want to offer a degree of flexibility for the wellbeing of staff.” Balance is something Denney thinks is also required at the industry level. “The volatility of the insurance cycle doesn’t benefit anyone,” he says. “The focus has got to be on achieving profitable growth through underwriting discipline and flattening some of the soft and hard market waves. This will provide stability for policyholders so they’re not seeing huge premium swings. We need to look at ourselves as an industry and become more consistent.” And, given its award-winning products and claims service, MECON is well placed to continue to drive excellence and innovation into the future.

CLIENT FEEDBACK “I’m writing in an effort to extend our gratitude for the efforts of MECON over the past 30-odd months. Whilst our family business has been covered by MECON since 2013, it wasn’t until we were challenged and faced the reality that everything we had worked so hard for was under threat that we realised the true strength of MECON. “The advice given by our broker was comforting and reassuring right from the beginning. The assessor MECON appointed reinforced and reassured my wife and my belief that someone ‘had our back’. “My wife and I, and my four children, cannot thank MECON enough for the protection, advice and reassurance provided during this difficult time. We will wait patiently for the outcome of the tribunal and hopefully celebrate the good result we have all worked towards.”

BROKER FEEDBACK “The client conveyed to me his appreciation of the attitude displayed by MECON in the management of the claim … I explained to Dave, who has been a long-standing client, that MECON is our first choice for construction insurance because of the philosophy of finding reasons to settle clients’ claims as opposed to avoiding or diminishing settlements opportunistically as some insurers do.” David Beard, MD Coastsure Insurance Brokers

02 9307 6600 PROCOVER IS a professional lines underwriting agency that provides insurance solutions with tailored coverage to SME and mid-market clients. Procover competes in the insurer market on more vanilla-type risks, while still accepting more of the challenging risk exposures.

JAYSON GROSSMAN, CASUALTY UNDERWRITING MANAGER

What do you see as Procover’s most important feature as an underwriting agency? Our team of experienced professional lines underwriters. How did 2021 change the way Procover does business? Whilst we had to adapt to working from home, it was a pretty seamless transition. From a broker-facing model, the transition to digital communications was probably the biggest challenge. What is the greatest challenge facing underwriting agencies today? With capacity challenges over the past four years, underwriting agencies have come to

the forefront and continually fill the gap for risks the insurers will not write. Because the market is cyclical, we must shift capital back to areas in which the agencies trade. How do you see technology changing the insurance industry, and how is Procover embracing it? Insurtech is the way forward, but not the only solution. There is still immense value in the traditional business model, especially in professional lines. We are proud to be the first panel member to auto rate on the SCTP PI platform. This technology has brought efficiencies for Procover, but more importantly for brokers, it has brought a contestable platform which they can utilise to obtain multiple quotes for the same risk.

Is there an achievement you’re most proud of? Attracting and retaining quality underwriters in the business, creating a collaborative underwriting culture, bringing our insurtech proposition to market, and our team at Procover. How do you support brokers? By talking to them. PI is a technical product due to the complex nature of risk and coverage. Procover’s experienced underwriters take the time to help brokers understand the risk, educate and provide solutions, whilst taking a commercial approach. If we can’t write the risk, we always suggest alternative markets to approach to provide suitable cover.

DARREN CRAZE, PROFESSIONAL LINES UNDERWRITER DARREN CRAZE has over 15 years’ experience in the insurance industry in New Zealand and Australia. His experience includes various roles in SME and personal lines insurance at IAG and Tower in New Zealand before he moved to

Australia in 2012. More recently, prior to joining Procover in 2020, Craze worked in financial lines underwriting roles at Brooklyn Underwriting and Lawcover Insurance for over five years. While also drawn to the technical and

risk assessment aspects of his role as a professional lines underwriter, Craze most enjoys the relationship-building, particularly as the industry emerges from the pandemic, and options to engage more in the market arise again.

PROFESSIONAL RISK UNDERWRITING (or ProRisk) has a proud history of innovation, product development, profitable underwriting and growth. ProRisk was originally formed to specialise in the provision of professional indemnity insurance. It has now expanded to include allied health, public and products liability, personal accident, management liability and cyber. Since launching ProBind, ProRisk now has seven products on the platform and over 4,000 brokers registered. ProRisk offers over 19 products and is backed by Australian Regulated Insurers and Lloyd’s capacity. It has grown from a single binder, single product and single office to the business it is today.

www.prorisk.com.au www.probind.com.au

As a multiline underwriting agency, ProRisk is focused on the needs of SMEs and mid-market clients. ProRisk offers the ability to package and tailor wordings to suit clients’ needs. ProRisk ask what their clients want instead of telling them what they need. ProRisk’s products are created in-house for the specific exposures of Australian SMEs, and we are proactive when it comes to delivering new products. In 2020 ProRisk launched ProBind, their own online broker trading platform. This enables their broking partners to quote, bind and renew policies 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. ProBind is supported by an experienced team of underwriters in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

Protection is our promise ProRisk works tirelessly with the world’s best insurers to ensure that its products are market leading. With authority to settle claims locally, brokers and distribution partners can be confident of a consistent approach when dealing with ProRisk. ProRisk’s progressive claims team is backed by ClaimPro, their proprietary online claims management platform. Claims can be viewed online, and updates communicated in real time via a mobile responsive platform. At ProRisk, the team lives and breathes the company motto that protection is our promise, and when you buy a ProRisk policy, that’s their guarantee.

AIMEE POZOGLOU, COMMERCIAL LINES PRACTICE LEADER AIMEE POZOGLOU leads a team of underwriters across ProRisk’s nine key product lines and three office locations. In the four years she has been at the company, Pozoglou has helped reinvigorate the ProRisk insurance offering, while building and supporting technical skills in the team to make ProRisk a more compelling choice for more brokers. With the advance of technology to make transactions more efficient and streamlined, in Pozoglou’s view the critical function of an underwriter remains to select and price the risk,

while being accessible to brokers. Pozoglou began her career in insurance over 20 years ago, starting in reinsurance in satellite and aviation before moving to London to work at Lloyd’s with a number of syndicates, including a stint in legal expenses and intellectual property legal expenses. In 2003/4 she returned to Australia, where she joined DUAL Australia as one of its founding underwriters and helped build its financial lines portfolio and product offering, including relaunching management liability and bringing to market statutory liability as a standalone product.

With the various roles Pozoglou has held, from experiencing a sustained soft market to one that has become more challenging, she has learned that insurance is an enduring and essential part of the broader economy; underwriters need to be responsive to client and broker needs regardless of whether there’s a pandemic or portfolio corrections making trading conditions more difficult. Relationships count in good times and bad, and having human interaction during the process is critical for risk selection and sustained profitability, as well as influencing the customer and broker experience.

Does your agency have anything interesting in the pipeline? We’ve been working on a new COVID product that we’re calling COVID BounceBack. The product will be available for brokers servicing larger associations, employer groups and unions who want to provide a solution to members. The product provides an immediate cash payment to fully vaccinated insureds who are hospitalised for 24 hours as a result of COVID-19 or any of its variants. What do you see as ProRisk’s most important feature as a company? I wouldn’t have been able to say this three years ago, but technology. We’ve doubled down on our efforts to bring industryleading products, backed by world-class security, to the SME market via ProBind. What do you think is the biggest challenge in the underwriting market currently? I think that our biggest challenge is how we as an industry, but also as a business, care for our staff. Our staff are our most important asset, and having a team that

is engaged and energised to succeed will be the key to our success. Underwriters who look after their people will outperform the broader market. Have you introduced any new products recently? We’ve been through a transformative process over the last three years, and I’m incredibly proud of the work that our General Counsel and Head of Operations Jaydon Burke-Douglas, has done in reinvigorating our product offering for platform delivery. By the time this is published, we will have seven products on

Can you describe the ideal broker to work with? Our target broker who we create products for is the broker who is looking after a portfolio of SME risks, who is time-poor and looking to differentiate themselves by offering our unique business insurance products to the SME market. If you could change one thing about underwriting or insurance, what would it be? The level of regulatory change post royal commission, which has been absolutely unprecedented throughout my career.

ShieldCover has an impressive, tight-knit group of expert underwriters willing to go the extra mile. Their experience in the industry is an invaluable asset to the company. In a red ocean, it’s important to be creative. ShieldCover believes in constant development and is always looking for ways to improve, adapt and interact with its broking partners. It’s no wonder ShieldCover is the go-to brand for brokers and their clients.

PRODUCTS ShieldCover specialises in tailored insurance cover for various industries throughout Australia. Blue collar • Cleaners • General trades • Motor trades • Project managers and site supervisors • Transport and logistics operators • Scaffolders • Welders and boilermakers Hospitality • Accommodation • Cafes and restaurants • Event organisers • Market organisers Property owners • Commercial property owners • Vacant land and vacant structures Small retailers • Handmade businesses • Market stall holders • Small online retailers

GREG RYNENBERG, CHIEF EXECUTIVE GREG RYNENBERG is CEO and founder of ShieldCover. He embarked on a career in insurance some 40 years ago, and the experience he gained has led to the establishment of ShieldCover in 2006 and its development into the business it is today. Being a seasoned broker himself, Rynenberg had a vision that he could build an underwriting agency that truly understood the relationship between brokers and their clients. This would be supported by a business model that would enhance that relationship. The ShieldCover mantra,

“supporting you, to support them”, is built upon that goal and intention. ShieldCover’s approach to this was tactical: to inform its broking partners about its clear and concise target market. With blue collar, hospitality, property owners and small retailers as the four core pillars of the ShieldCover appetite, the company has set a defined message without limiting the brand’s opportunities to tackle new risks. Rynenberg believes you can only go so far sitting behind a computer algorithm that does not allow underwriters to fully

understand the difficulties intermediaries face on a day-to-day basis. Instead, human conversations help them serve clients better. “We have created a team of dedicated underwriters who take immense pride in providing you with personalised service, from quoting and binding to making a claim,” says Rynenberg. “Our goal over the next five years is to continue to focus on being a market leader in our target industries, and to go further in our already-deep relationships with our intermediary network, all while providing responsive, client-focused insurance.”

JOHN ILES, DIRECTOR Does your agency have anything interesting in the pipeline? We’re always attuned to opportunities and looking for ways to innovate and support the changing needs of Australia’s insurance industry. One of the things we’re working on at the moment through our corporate authorised representatives is a deadly weapons product for small-to-medium enterprises. In saying that, we’re always continuing to develop our existing product lines to stay at the front of industry needs.

What do you see as SUA’s most important feature as a company? And is there an agency achievement you’re most proud of? Longevity. The core of the company has been the same since 1992. We’re a fiercely independent, proudly Queensland business. We’ve built an incredible team of experts who know our products inside out and back to front. It doesn’t matter who you’re talking to in our organisation, you know you’re talking to a product specialist. I’m especially proud of this achievement because it hasn’t always been an easy path over those 30 years. Many of our staff have ridden the highs and lows of company and industry changes that have occurred during that time. But we have an enjoyable, supportive working environment where everyone’s opinion is heard and respected, and that has cultivated strong loyalty with our staff that’s reflected in the efforts they put back into the company. It sounds cliché, but we’re all part of the SUA family. The fact that we’re still around and still going strong, to me is a reflection that the company is stronger than any single individual within it, and part of our success is definitely down to our ability to band together to achieve common goals.

Relationships are crucial in any business. The longevity of our staff and company has allowed us to forge strong relationships with brokers, insurers and other industry players, and that’s been a key to our success as well. Finally, I believe being an independent company with a single focus as an agency ensures we have no conflicts of interest. This has also helped us build the trust and transparency that successful relationships require. What do you think is the biggest challenge in the underwriting agency market currently? The biggest challenge right now is the same as always; it’s the constant juggle of trying to find the right balance between delivering competitive, valuable products for brokers and their clients and ensuring a viable, profitable business for insurers. I’ve always felt that it’s more interesting to focus on the opportunities that exist, rather than the challenges, and on that front, we’re in a really interesting environment right now. Many insurers are tightening their risk appetite and withdrawing from certain products, creating a hard market. This is creating opportunities for companies such as ours to fill the gap in the market by delivering insurance solutions for a broader range of clients.

What do you think is the biggest attribute an underwriting agency offers a broker? Underwriting agencies offer a degree of service and expertise you normally can’t get through direct insurers. We offer a high standard of service; we’re readily available and are specialists in the products we offer. So, rather than talking to someone who has a general understanding of a broad suite of products, you get to talk to a specialist who intimately understands the ins and outs of our bespoke product offering. That kind of accessibility and ‘answer on the spot’ kind of service can be a real drawcard for brokers. Do you have any plans for broker engagement, both now and in the future? We celebrate 30 years in business this year. It’s a great opportunity to come together with stakeholders, peers, clients and brokers to celebrate an incredible milestone. It’s a real credit to the SUA team for all their dedication and hard work to continue delivering value for brokers and insurers alike. Outside of this, we have an open-door policy for broker queries. We’re always happy to provide expert commentary on products. We make it part of our job to keep across regulatory changes and the impacts these have on various insurance products. This helps us to give brokers the information they need to talk to their clients about any changes to their coverage requirements. We invite brokers to contact us at any time. We have offices in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, and travel to the other capital cities and regional centres regularly.

St George Underwriting Agency Providing specialist landlord insurance since 1991, SGUA caters to the changing risks and issues that landlords face. We focus on ensuring a quick response to delivering maximum cover and protection.

What we do Not all rental properties have the same needs; that’s why SGUA offers a range of covers suitable for different types of rentals. In addition to our full-time domestic rental cover, SGUA provides protection for short-term holiday stays, including properties advertised on the popular Airbnb and Stayz platforms. Our holiday home facility will cover properties let for periods of less than three months if the property is used privately by the owner as a secondary home or a little bit of both.

that they can manage larger volumes of business with minimal administration. We are well placed to provide cover for property portfolios, offering the ability to manage different portfolios through one platform. During these turbulent times, we have seen broker support for our products increase faster than in any previous period. We believe this is due to our stability, our fair and flexible underwriting approach, and our competitiveness. We pride ourselves on being stable, and on future-proofing brokers’ portfolios.

PRODUCTS • Full-time domestic rentals • Self-managed rentals • Short-term rentals • Holiday homes • Holiday units

We make claiming easy We’re broker-friendly We understand that our brokers want to transact business quickly with reduced ‘touch time’. With this in mind, we have developed an online quoting and cover placement system which allows the user access to alter and cancel policies, drastically reducing the wait and handling time for brokers. For the many brokers who handle residential property insurance, the pay-off is

Our claims team come with many years of experience and deliver a seamless claims process. Brokers can conveniently lodge client claims online via SGUA’s website or, alternatively, they can call one of our friendly claims technicians who can help walk them through the process. This is a big selling point for SGUA as we set a high benchmark for our team to produce service excellence.

MARIA DE ORUETA, GENERAL MANAGER MARIA DE ORUETA has in recent months taken over the role of general manager of SGUA, one of the largest landlords insurance agencies in the country. Maria brings with her a wealth of experience in insurance, having worked for two big strata agencies over the past 17 years in a variety of roles, including underwriting, relationship management, and sales and marketing. Maria started her insurance career in Sydney before moving to Perth in 2013 to grow the strata portfolio of a very respected strata company.

“That opportunity gave me tools to become really good at problem-solving, having to come up with solutions and ideas on the spot for my clients, something extremely important when you’re dealing with time differences and you are also the only representative in the state. That role also taught me the importance of building good relationships not only with our clients and colleagues but the industry as a whole,” Maria says. “Taking on the role as general manager for SGUA has been an extremely rewarding

experience. I have been lucky to work with senior leaders who have given me full trust and autonomy to influence the culture of our business, allowing me to embrace things that are very close to my heart, like D&I, psychological safety, and actively demonstrating to our staff that we all collectively play an important role in the success of our organisation. “I look forward to working for such a respected business that has demonstrated consistency, good service and integrity for the past 30 years.”

We are 100% independently owned and hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (509709) from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. In 2022 we have bolstered our available capacity and risk appetite across both property and liability product areas. As the market continues to remain challenging in a post-COVID-19 world, we stand ready to help our brokers and their clients when they need it most.

From the outset, managing director David Porteous’ vision for The Barn was to provide a specialty property and liability solution to the market, so bringing Golding on board to deliver this was a crucial piece of the concept.

This extensive experience allowed him to master the art of understanding the full extent and nature of complex liability exposures. Golding’s expertise gives confidence

to clients and their businesses that the exposures they face every day won’t be missed. When asked about his favourite part of the role, Golding says: “Simple! It’s definitely the people, but further the challenge they bring with the endless variety of different styles of risk.” Golding exudes dependability and authenticity and will always make himself available when a quick answer is required. There’s no time wasted in the liability team at The Barn. “We’re here to help,” Golding says. “Let’s start a conversation. Give me a shout to discuss your upcoming liability requirements.”

ALLAN LEE, HEAD OF INSURANCE ALLAN LEE brings to the WIP Group over 30 years of experience working in accident and health in both the London and local markets. Through his vast knowledge of the insurance market, particularly accident and health, he has further enhanced WIP’s ability to provide innovative tailor-made insurance solutions for all clients. With multiple insurance reforms occurring within the superannuation space, and increased pressure on poor-performing funds to merge, the opportunities for brokers to provide accident and health

solutions (particularly income protection) to their clients have never been greater. Multiple pockets of members may find their insurance coverage no longer guaranteed or considered fit for purpose by their chosen or stapled superannuation fund, triggering an increase in demand for insurance to be provided by EBAs – or Employee Benefit Programs. This is where WIP can assist the broker market in designing programs that will ensure value for money with bespoke coverage. The ongoing pursuit of creativity,

initiatives and service excellence are key drivers of the WIP Group, ensuring that we continue to be an innovator in the industry. The WIP Group uses both international and local security. We do this to ensure that all opportunities are seen from a different perspective. Our meticulous approach to finding sustainable solutions is a pillar of our ongoing success. While we specialise in the accident and health market, our services are not limited to this space, and we can look to assist with any insurance requirements if the need arises.
