Queensland-based Shielded Insurance Brokers boasts a “young, energetic and driven” team of insurance experts – so it’s no wonder the brokerage claimed the number-one spot on this year’s Top 10 Brokerages list. With a mission to challenge the status quo of insurance broking, Shielded Insurance Brokers offers a wide array of coverage, including business, home and contents, vehicle, landlords, truck insurance, rideshare, criminal convictions, luxury and prestige homes, the security industry, restaurants and vacant land.
The brokerage cemented its first-place finish with a staggering 91% client growth rate from July 2019 to June 2020. Its new revenue total was also far and away the highest among this year’s Top 10 Brokerages at $3.2m.
That record-setting growth has also presented some challenges, however. Managing director Stuart Brady told IB that the biggest challenge currently facing Shielded Insurance Brokers is “how we manage workload, growing smart and reviewing efficiencies constantly because of our fast growth”.
