Ausure Insurance Newcastle has announced a partnership with Newcastle Insurance Group, building on a long-term professional relationship between the firms.
This collaboration involves Gavin Walker and Hayley-Jane Walker of Newcastle Insurance Group, along with David Summers and Travis Hargreaves from Ausure Insurance Newcastle.
Gavin Walker, managing director at Newcastle Insurance Group, said the new venture enables the firm to expand in the small and midsize enterprise (SME) industry by leveraging Ausure’s resources and support.
“After knowing David and Travis for a number of years and developing a relationship built on sharing of industry knowledge and expertise, it was a no-brainer to approach them when looking for a business partnership,” he said. “The support and help I have been given from Dave and Travis are invaluable in my 17 years of being in the industry, and it just makes sense to join forces with like-minded business partners to create a more uniform and customer-centric approach.
“Our goal is to grow in the SME space, utilising the support and resources provided through Ausure. Compared to other brokerages and dealer groups, Ausure offers a unique way of doing insurance, which has strongly aligned with our values.”
Summers said the partnership aims to help both firms dominate the region’s market.
“Ausure Insurance Newcastle has had a long-standing relationship with Gavin of Newcastle Insurance Group, admiring his professionalism, expertise, and dedication over the years. Gavin’s hard work and relentless pursuit of the best outcomes for his clients, combined with his genuine character, make him an outstanding partner. He is passionate about providing complete peace of mind to his clients,” he said. “When we learned that Gavin and Hayley Jane were seeking a partner to share their vision and support their growth, the collaboration naturally followed. Together, Newcastle Insurance Group and Ausure Insurance Newcastle are poised to become the leading insurance brokerages in the region.”
Founded in 1996, Ausure initially established offices in New South Wales, Victoria, and the Australian Capital Territory. With its headquarters now in Brisbane, it has grown into one of Australia’s largest insurance broking and advisory firms, boasting over 240 authorised representatives nationwide. Recently, the firm launched an advertising campaign to enhance its visibility across Australia, targeting daily commuters in over 20 locations.
