The local broking scene is in for a shake-up following Arthur J Gallagher’s acquisition of No.5 broker OAMPS. The June/July edition of Insurance News (the magazine) contains fresh information on the way ahead for Gallagher in Australia, and examines the impact on the local market.

We also highlight the general insurance progress (or lack of it) by online comparison sites, which now dominate the UK market but are finding the Australian experience a whole lot tougher. 

And we return to the area of Australia’s greatest potential disaster, with a new government report providing a stark and unsettling summary of northwest Sydney’s exposures.

Subscribers will also meet brokers who mean business and Australian insurance professionals who call Singapore home. We also investigate the growth potential of pet insurance and report how a court case serves as a sharp warning for brokers and underwriting agencies.

Backgrounding the news, digging into the issues and celebrating the industry – that’s what makes Insurance News (the magazine) the most-read insurance publication in the country. It’s free to subscribers, and should arrive in mailboxes later this week.
