Sportscover Australia has appointed Veronica Dawson as Senior Underwriter based in southeast Queensland.

The sports and leisure insurer says Ms Dawson brings extensive experience across casualty, property and financial lines. She has previously worked at Ansvar, Brooklyn Underwriting, QBE and Suncorp.

Sportscover says the appointment is its first in southeast Queensland for more than 10 years.

“This is a significant step in our corporate strategy and an exciting appointment for Sportscover,” Underwriting Manager Jarrod Bell said.

“With so many changes within the insurance and sports/leisure markets since the beginning of the pandemic, having Veronica join our team will bolster our plans for expansion in Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia whilst also ensuring we continue to provide strong local support for brokers.”

Ms Dawson will report to Mr Bell and work alongside Melbourne and Sydney branch managers Luke Grasic and John Torcasio.
