Ardonagh's acquisition of Brisbane-based Envest is the main topic of discussion on the latest Insurance News podcast.

As insuranceNEWS.com.au reported in a Breaking News alert, the UK broking giant has agreed a $482 million deal for Envest, which includes the broking network Aviso Group and several underwriting agencies.

This week’s edition of INsight, hosted by Insurance News MD Andrew Silcox, features the observations of Chairman Terry McMullan, Managing Editor John Deex and Senior Journalist Bernice Han.

The panel also discusses a parliamentary hearing on the cyclone reinsurance pool, a broker code compliance committee report, and NSW businesses' concerns about access to insurance.
