High Street Underwriting Agency

High Street Underwriting Agency was created because husband and wife team Alan and Jan Whittle felt a human touch was missing in what is, after all, a very human industry — and they wanted to reintroduce it. From that initial concept 20 years ago, High Street has seen some impressive growth over the years and has evolved into an agency laser-focused on bringing the best of the best to the industry. London relationships in place and feet on the ground locally is a critical mix, with the agency boasting equally strong capacity to underwrite day-to-day exposures along with more hard-to-place risks.

On top of being tapped for Australian Underwriting Agency of the Year at the recent Insurance Business Australia Awards, High Street has consistently ranked at or near the top for best product liability and public liability underwriter in IBAA’s Brokers on Underwriting Agencies awards. The agency’s strengths stretch beyond understanding niche business classes, with its traditional underwriting bolstered by a commitment to help brokers adapt to and leverage technology. Innovation is a driving force at High Street, with an in-house tech team overseeing an ever-evolving online portal for brokers as well as bespoke website integrations. A ‘nothing’s too much trouble’ approach sets the stage for relationship-building and, most importantly, results.

With a team of over 40 people and Jan and Alan’s son Blair Whittle at the helm as CEO, High Street remains at its core that family-founded company simply seeking to look after people through a wide variety of products, a high level of support for brokers, and a continuation of the all-important hands-on approach. Continued growth, innovation, outstanding customer service and family ties are the four corners of the agency — and make it a standout in the field year after year.
