Executive director
Community Underwriting
Graeme Berwick has worked in the insurance industry for more than 30 years, both in Australia and abroad. For the last 20 years, he has also run his own management consultancy, serving as an advisor, shareholder and principal consultant for numerous industryrelated businesses. Berwick is also a board member of Meals on Wheels NSW and has been involved with the association for more than 15 years.
His commitment to charitable action extends into Community Underwriting, too. The company’s Small Grants Program, in operation since 2014, returns 5% of Community Underwriting’s annual surplus to its not-for-profi t clients. Since its inception, the program has channelled more than $3m back into charitable organisations.
“The bigger we grow, the more there is for our clients, which is great,” Berwick told IB last year. “[In 2019], the overall grant pool is going to be around $102,000 – up from about $70,000 [in 2018].”
