I have 30 years of experience in General Insurance Broking, including 17 years as an independent Authorised Representative for a corporate insurance broker in a regional area.
I chose Astute because it offered a multifaceted approach to financial services. I could leverage the strengths of Commercial Brokers, Accountants and Mortgage Brokers within the group. This allowed me to design a business that not only played to my own strengths, but also those of the network around me. I saw real alignment with like-minded referrers who understand the importance of protecting clients’ assets and integrating financial products into their businesses.
It also appealed to me that Astute is aligned with Steadfast and licences through Ausure. That gives me access to the resources of the largest insurance provider in the country, and I can pick up the phone and talk to someone at Ausure whenever I need to.
What I really like about the Astute Group is the diversity across both city and regional areas. There’s a strong culture of sharing knowledge and skills, which adds real value.
Astute has helped my business by providing a strong, recognisable brand within the community. The people are always willing to help, and there’s unlimited referral potential throughout the network.
