Coverforce has appointed Gareth Carpenter to the newly created role of national broking manager.

Group CEO Tony Goldsmith says Mr Carpenter has a wealth of technical broking expertise and his appointment helps elevate the business’ mid-market and schemes and facilities capability.

“Gareth adds further depth to the Coverforce executive team and his authentic and energetic leadership style will be well received by all clients and employees,” Mr Goldsmith said.  

Mr Carpenter, based in Sydney, will oversee the Coverforce insurance broking businesses in Barangaroo and South Melbourne.

Coverforce was founded more than 25 years ago and has been owned by Steadfast Group since 2021.

It says the creation of Mr Carpenter’s role reflects its recent growth trajectory and will ensure it operates as a national broking business.
