Chris Quick joined Dawes
Underwriting Australia six years ago as a motor underwriter. As his experience and natural leadership qualities soon became evident, he quickly progressed to the role of team leader. Immediately, he had a positive impact on the team, changing a number of business processes and quickly building strong relationships with key brokers. He was then promoted to motor underwriting manager, with an increased focus on business development and managing a team of eight staff. Quick has led the agency through two changes of insurers as well as the change of ownership from Calliden to Steadfast, and has grown the portfolio over the last two years by 15%. He attends a number of industry functions to be the face of the agency at a national level and is well respected not only within the Steadfast Group, but also externally with insurers, third party administrators and the intermediated broker channel. Quick’s efforts have helped put the agency in a leadership position in its segment.
