McLardy McShane Insurance Brokers has expanded its network in regional NSW via a joint venture with Tim Hardy, who is leaving Canberra to move back home to Tamworth and operate from new branch offices.

CEO Don McLardy says it is an exciting time for the brokerage as it builds a strong national major city and regional presence.

McLardy McShane also has branches in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane, and the regional centres of Albury, Bendigo, Byron Bay, Horsham, Kerang, Shepparton, Swan Hill and Warrnambool, Rosebud and Dandenong.
