Specialist insurer NTI's office in Western Australia (WA) held its inaugural Business Partners Function, attended by transport and logistics industry leaders and insurance professionals.

Held at the Crown Casino Crystal Club, the event saw the NTI WA team, broker and AR partners, and members of NTI's Premium Repairer Network, among others, reflect on the year, share their challenges and learnings, and celebrate their triumphs.

NTI state manager for WA, Ross Lambrick, said the team looks forward to making the Business Partners Function an annual event.

“As the leader in the transport, equipment, and logistics insurance, NTI takes pride in bringing people together for the purpose of building relationships that lead to greater customer outcomes,” Lambrick added. “It was a real treat to have some interstate guests join us too, now that some travel restrictions have eased.”

The specialist insurer was one of the companies that took the spotlight, taking home this year's Underwriting Agency of the Year award. QBE also brought home the bacon during the event, taking this year's Insurer of the Year award.

More good news was NTI CEO Tony Clark's appointment as a member of the board of the Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA), highlighting both organisations' longstanding history of working together to create a “safe and unified industry.”
