SURA has welcomed back a respected underwriter to its team.
Ross Gilbert recently took on the role as the national manager in charge of running both SURA Labour Hire and SURA Specialty. He will be based in the firm’s Melbourne office.
“We are very pleased to have Ross back on board,” said Angie Zissis, managing director of SURA. “He previously worked for our group of agencies for over seven years. His return shows his strong connection to our business. His expertise is invaluable and his understanding of complex liability risks and the bespoke coverage requirements that come from risks within the labour hire industry will ensure that both these agencies will continue to grow and that brokers are provided first-rate service and technical know-how.”
Gilbert said he is pleased to reunite with the SURA-branded family as this would allow him to continue to look after those brokers he’s supported over the years and find new ways to support brokers in the growing niche segment.
“We also have an agreement with Calibre Commercial Insurance that we are able to negotiate replacement terms [subject to our insurers risk appetite and underwriting guidelines] on their existing speciality liability insurance renewals as they fall due from January 27, 2018, noting that they are no longer writing this product,” he said.
