Over many years we engaged Martin and his broking team as our insurance and risk advisor.

Being a leading supplier of scaffolding and formwork to the construction and industry sectors comes with considerable insurance and risk challenges. Being able to rely not only on outstanding service but also expert risk advice was of great value and comfort to our organisation.

Martin seeks to gain a very deep understanding of the business, its people and operations, which no doubt allows for the construction of appropriate coverage and advice, allowing us to make informed decisions.

Through a number of challenging events, claims and insurance market cycles we certainly felt we achieved optimum outcomes, which helped us to realise the best results for our company and shareholders.

I can highly recommend Martin as an insurance and risk advisor to any business.

“Thank you very much to Acacia Rural for being so proactive, you are certainly taking the headache out of insurance for us.”

“Michelle is bloody fantastic. She has gone above and beyond for us for all the years she’s been doing insurance for us. This year following a claim, she’s worked especially hard to get us the best deal, she’s fantastic. I really appreciate it.”

Matt from Pro Axle Newcastle

From the outset we were impressed by the time you took to understand how we operate and the key challenges facing us from the perspective of securing appropriate cover. Equally, your analysis of our current insurance cover and premiums was deep and clinical. This allowed the development of a very clear investigation checklist.

Your brief to potential providers was obviously effective as the response back to us was coherent and allowed for direct ‘apples for apples’ comparison. In that respect, the decision-making process was relatively easy. Given the size of premiums and the risk exposure, this was a matter for Board approval. Acacia maintained excellent and ongoing information flow to our Board and directly presented your findings.

On our behalf you negotiated effectively, both lifting the quality and breadth of our coverage. At the same time the premiums quoted to us came in at a most acceptable level. Achieving both an improvement in cover and great premiums is a difficult double act to achieve, but you did just that.

We are pleased to recommend the services of Acacia to any prospective clients.

As Asia Pacific Regional Finance Director of a large multinational, multi modal freight/logistics and TPL warehousing company with more than 23,000 employees, one of my key accountabilities was managing risk for the businesses in my jurisdiction.  When evaluating risk and insurance requirements across a complex and dynamic business framework, it is crucial that you partner with the right advisers.  My personal view is that the time investment required by both parties to understand the business drivers, and functional activities conducted by large organisations such as the one I worked for is so great, that you have to develop relationships with people you both trust and carry levels of expertise not often found in the general market place.

To this end I was delighted to establish exactly this type of relationship with Martin and his team, who earned my confidence and consistently demonstrated their value throughout their tenure as our broker over many years.

Specifically, Martin was able to highlight deficiencies in our program, give us advice on how we approached risk and structure a program that better suited our business.  The day to day service never wavered.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Martin to any organisation who seeks a valued insurance and risk business partner.
