Austbrokers Comsure has appointed Brisbane-based Mike Ambrosini to the board.

Mr Ambrosini has worked extensively in compulsory third party and motor dealership insurance since starting out as a marine specialist.

He joined Austbrokers Comsure in 2018 and was formerly GM CTP & Dealer Division at Allianz, where he spent two decades. He has also worked at Zurich, QBE and Suncorp since starting out in 1967 as a junior clerk.

Austbrokers Comsure MD Ian Garbutt says Mr Ambrosini’s depth of corporate insurance experience is invaluable.

"Mr Ambrosini has worked closely with motor dealerships for many years and his knowledge, expertise and relationships in the sector will assist us to grow this specialist field further,” he said.

Austbrokers Comsure was formed by the merger of three south-east Queensland brokerages in 2020 and this year added Parramatta-based WRI Insurance Brokers to its network, which it says makes it the nation’s largest broker in the motor dealer industry.

Mr Ambrosini has served on the Australian & New Zealand Institute of Insurance & Finance (ANZIIF) board and was president of the Queensland division and chair of three key ANZIIF councils.
