Ron Tatarka has been named as Australia’s number one insurance broker in Insurance Business magazine’s inaugural Elite Brokers survey.
Industry stalwart Tatarka, managing director of Scott Winton Insurance Brokers, called the award “an honour and a privilege”.
“Recently, I looked back and realised that 21 years ago I started this business with little experience and even less capital, and I realised how tremendously the business has grown” he added. “My success would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of the Scott Winton staff and the on-going support of our insurers and clients.”
Tatarka also credited his success to providing excellent client service.
“Meeting and anticipating our client’s needs is what gives Scott Winton its edge over our competitors,” he said. “In this complex and aggressive market, it is often difficult to negotiate competitive terms, but we excel because our clients understand that price is not everything; they trust us to protect their interests and know that we are available to assist them any time of the day or night.”
Insurance Business editor Kevin Eddy commented that the striking thing about the Top 30 was the sheer diversity of the brokers on the list – the first of its kind in Australia.
“Every one of these men and women is very different to the next – from veterans to industry rookies,” he said. “That diversity is a sign that the insurance industry is thriving and will continue to do so in the future.”
