Operating as an authorised representative of Envest's heavy motor specialist underwriter, ATL Insurance Group, TLI Underwriting is set to commence operations at the end of this month. The agency's primary focus will be on delivering tailored insurance products and underwriting expertise to the larger fleet segment, complementing ATL's existing services for small to medium-sized transport owner-operators.
Richard Heilig, CEO of Envest Agencies, highlighted the strategic importance of this development, stating, "While ATL continues to focus on SME transport owner-operators, TLI allows us to broaden our reach and better serve the larger fleet segment with specialised products and underwriting expertise."
Leading TLI Underwriting is Pat Miller, formerly the CEO of PSC's Australian and UK broking operations. Miller brings a wealth of experience to the role, emphasising the agency's commitment to filling a notable gap in the market. "There is a clear gap in the market around providing dedicated service and support to brokers working with heavy motor fleet operators," Miller noted. "TLI Underwriting is here to fill that gap with a comprehensive insurance program that delivers real value to fleet businesses."
Supporting Miller is Luke Sellars, who will serve as the Head of Underwriting. Sellars, previously the Queensland Manager at GT Insurance, is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the agency's underwriting strategies and ensuring that the products offered align with the specific needs of large fleet operators.
The establishment of TLI Underwriting comes at a time when Australia's transport and logistics industry is experiencing increased demand for comprehensive and customised insurance solutions. Large fleet operators often face complex risk profiles and require insurance products that can adapt to their evolving needs. By focusing on service, risk management, and long-term partnerships, TLI Underwriting aims to provide these operators with the support necessary to navigate the challenges of the industry effectively.
Envest Group's decision to launch TLI Underwriting underscores its commitment to innovation and responsiveness to market demands. As one of Australia's largest privately owned insurance and financial services distribution groups, Envest continues to expand its portfolio to better serve the diverse needs of the transport sector.
For fleet operators, the introduction of TLI Underwriting represents an opportunity to access specialised insurance solutions designed to address the complexities of managing large vehicle fleets. With a focus on dedicated service and tailored products, TLI Underwriting is poised to become a valuable partner for businesses seeking to enhance their risk management strategies and ensure the continuity of their operations.
