The collapse of Perth-based authorised representative (AR) group Winley Insurance will have repercussions in the industry, but Insurance Advisernet Managing Director Shaun Standfield explains in the latest edition of Insurance News (the magazine) why the AR model remains the way of the future.

The latest edition of the regional insurance industry’s most widely read magazine also examines Insight, Steadfast’s ambitious new broking platform, and looks what’s going on with other broking system projects.

We also examine the fine print and the fallout from the Northern Australia Insurance Premiums Taskforce report, and we’ve caught up with a much-admired former industry figure who’s facing the biggest challenge of his life.

Insurance News (the magazine) features face-to-face interviews with Peter Eastwood, the President of Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance, as the local operation clocks over a year in the market; and QBE Australia and New Zealand Chief Executive Tim Plant.

You’ll find valuable information on everything from pandemics to mutual insurers to company developments in this issue. Subscribers should expect their copy to arrive in the next week.
