Adroit Insurance and Risk has celebrated the opening of a new office in Geelong, where the company began its broking operations.

The firm now has more than 140 brokers and professionals in nine locations across regional and metropolitan Victoria and provides advice to more than 25,000 individuals and businesses.

“We opened our new purpose-built office in Geelong, the city where we started our regional footprint more than 40 years ago,” MD Fabian Pasquini said. “Our move reinforces our commitment to, and our belief in, Geelong and the region.”

Adroit also welcomed Managing Principal Jason Dowling to its team. Previously he was COO at LKA Group and has worked with insurers Allianz and IAG.

Darrell Fenton has been appointed Senior Account Manager.

The new office is at 380 Latrobe Terrace, Newtown.
