Shepparton-based O’Sullivan Insurance Brokers has joined Insurance Brokers Network Australia (IBNA).

MD Geoff O’Sullivan, a former Insight member who established the business in 2002, says joining IBNA will give him access to a wider range of the products clients want.

“It is an ideal fit for small and medium-sized brokers in regional areas, and for where we are going with the business,” he said.

“I think for the smaller to medium-sized broker, alliances with the likes of IBNA are crucial for future stability and for the broker that wants to retain their independence rather than going down the avenue of other partnership models that are available today.”

IBNA has welcomed three new members this year, and Chairman Gary Gribbin says more announcements are imminent.
