Managing director
Axis Understanding
Gary Dawson has been critical to Axis Underwriting since the very beginning. Partnering with the late John Whitbread, Dawson spotted a gap in the market, and in 1999, Axis Underwriting was born. Since then, the company has been transforming the way Australian insurance brokers access security for high-hazard and hard-to-place risks. The company’s underwriters take an unbiased approach when it comes to assessing and insuring specialised, high-hazard occupations, reviewing each risk on its own merits and working in partnership with general insurance brokers.
With offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, as well as expanded occupation listings and increased capacity with Lloyd’s, Dawson and Axis Underwriting are now in a position to assist brokers more effectively than ever before.
