Director and CEO
NM INSURANCE
Lyndon Turner has amassed more than 20 years’ industry experience, including in claims, underwriting and broking as well as several senior management roles.
In December, Turner was re-elected chair of the Underwriting Agencies Council board, on which he’s occupied a seat since 2011. He is a strong advocate for underwriting agencies and the value they can add for insureds through coverage of complex risks, quick response times and speed to market. At its December AGM, Turner spoke about UAC’s achievements in recent times, which have included its nine underwriting expos across Australia and New Zealand in 2017; advocacy on members’ behalf, working closely with ASIC, APRA, the ICA and NIBA; and its affiliations with the UK Managing General Agents’ Association and the American Association of Managing General Agents.
Turner and his colleagues continue looking for opportunities to assist UAC in becoming the underwriting agency voice for Asia-Pac and enhancing the value of membership for its agencies, which have a combined annual GWP of approximately $3.5bn. At the AGM, he told the room: “In 2018 we will re-evaluate all programs and events to maximise the return on members’ funds and ensure a continued focus on the agency sector’s growth.”
