Director
Premium Funding
Ross Hayward leads Australia’s largest privately owned premium funding company, which writes loans for more than 45,000 businesses each year through a network of more than 1,000 brokers. In recent years, Hayward and Premium Funding launched InsurePitch in collaboration with Ausure, Insurance House Group, PSC Insurance, the Hollard Group and Resilium Insurance Brokers. The think tank provides brokers and the wider industry with a platform to fund and develop tech ideas to stave off the threat of insurtech and direct offerings.
More recently, Hayward has called on the industry to voice its support for brokers, saying action needs to be taken sooner rather than later. “ASIC will be reviewing our industry in 2022, we need to start the conversation now to build awareness around the importance of insurance brokers,” Hayward told IB last year.
