TLI Underwriting will operate as an authorised representative of Envest's heavy motor specialist underwriter, ATL Insurance Group. While ATL continues to focus on small to medium-sized transport owner-operators, TLI is set to broaden the reach by catering specifically to the larger fleet segment with tailored products and underwriting expertise.
Richard Heilig, CEO of Envest Agencies, highlighted the significance of this development, stating that TLI allows the group to better serve the larger fleet segment with specialised products and underwriting expertise. The agency will place a strong emphasis on service, risk management, and fostering long-term partnerships within the transport and logistics industry.
Leading TLI Underwriting is Pat Miller, formerly the CEO of PSC's Australian and UK broking operations, who will serve as Managing Director. Luke Sellars, previously the Queensland Manager at GT Insurance, has been appointed as Head of Underwriting. Miller noted a clear gap in the market for dedicated service and support to brokers working with heavy motor fleet operators, which TLI aims to fill with a comprehensive insurance program backed by Berkshire Hathaway Specialty Insurance.
Envest Group, part of the UK-based Ardonagh, is one of Australia's largest privately owned insurance and financial services distribution groups, encompassing over 50 brands, including Aviso, PSC, and Resilium. The launch of TLI Underwriting represents a significant step in enhancing insurance offerings for the transport and logistics industry, providing tailored solutions that address the specific needs of large fleet operators.
