Dual Australia is expanding into specialty consumer products, with a new offering to focus initially on extended warranty, accidental damage, theft and loss, and cancellation insurance.

The specialty consumer products team will be led by Alan Brewis, who has more than 20 years’ experience in local and London markets, including previous roles at The Warranty Group and National Underwriting Agencies.

“This is a niche market where Alan’s extensive experience and existing relationships will be a huge asset to the business,” Dual Australia GM Leo Abbruzzo said.

The company says it has identified a number of opportunities with brokers and direct clients.

“We anticipate significant further interest as we launch to our broader network of brokers,” Mr Abbruzzo said.
