“With a number of factors leading to increased insurance costs in recent years, best-practice risk management has the ability to broaden coverage and put downward pressure on premiums,” said Darren O’Connell, executive general manager commercial portfolio with Suncorp Commercial Insurance.
“It has been repeatedly demonstrated that a close working relationship between businesses, brokers and insurers to proactively address risks leads to better outcomes for everyone,” said O’Connell.
“There is an increasing awareness amongst business owners of the need to invest in specialist risk management advice to ensure the continuity of their operations,” said O’Connell.
“A great deal of good work is being done to address complex risks and prepare businesses for a variety of possible scenarios.”
Nominations must be received by 30 August. RM Advancer finalists and their brokers will be invited to attend the awards night in Sydney on the 24th of October.
