Oracle Group Australia (OGA) has bought Professional Insurance Brokers from Martin Hastings, who started the business in 1979, as it expands in Victoria.

“Mr Hastings made a decision to retire, considering OGA the preferred alliance to purchase his reputable business in Monbulk,” MD Steve Campbell said.

Oracle Group has continued to expand since joining Centro Chamber and Gold-Coast-based Agile Insurance Advice in a three-way merger in 2015 to create a national broking business.

The group also announced today it has appointed Jane Martin of Platinum Insurance Brokers as a director.

“Her brokerage in Hawthorn, Victoria, provides OGA with the hub necessary to facilitate growth strategies into Victoria,” Mr Campbell said.
