Network Steadfast, a brokerage majority-owned by Steadfast Group, has entered into a strategic partnership with Brisbane corporate risks broker Bluebook.

The deal also includes investing an undisclosed sum in Bluebook, the brokerage announced on its LinkedIn page.

Network Steadfast says the latest partnership means the business is now represented in NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland, with gross written premium in excess of $220 million.

“It’s an absolute pleasure to partner with Bluebook in Queensland as part of our national growth strategy,” CEO Andrew Broughton said.

“The skills that Bluebook staff bring to our organisation will align perfectly with our existing capability and reach.”

Bluebook CEO Peter Apolakiatis, who founded the business in 2018, says he looks forward to working with his new partner.
