Bob Page, who with his brother Frank founded Specialist Underwriting Agencies (SUA) in 1992, has died at the age of 67.

Brisbane-based Mr Page remained Chairman and SUA’s major shareholder until last year after retiring from full time work in 2016.

Despite being involved in insurance for three decades and completing insurance qualifications, Mr Page remained behind the scenes to all but SUA’s “most important affiliates,” SUA director John Iles says.

Mr Page’s funeral was held at The Lakeview Chapel in Brisbane’s Bridgeman Downs on Tuesday.

“It was Bob’s generosity, integrity, drive and belief in his employees that made SUA’s 25 plus years a possibility,” Mr Iles says in a eulogy shared with insuranceNEWS.com.au.

“It was his humour, humility and humanity that made working at SUA with Bob a joy.”

Mr Page is survived by his wife Gail and his sisters Christine and Narelle, who works in administration at SUA.
