As a Bellrock Director, Jonathan champions a highly personalised, client focused approach to risk advisory and advocacy services. He has built a formidable reputation in the insurance industry defined by his uncompromising standards of client service and the quality of personal relationships he has built with industry peers.
With more than 24 years in hands-on risk management and insurance placement, Jonathan is a true specialist in the property & construction sector. After spending the majority of his career working for international intermediaries, Jonathan joined Bellrock in 2019 recognising a need for advisors to shift their approach of trying to shoehorn clients into a “one size fits all” model to one which provides truly tailored advice.
Over the course of his career, Jonathan has developed risk management programmes, arranged placement for and been involved in claims across some of Australia’s largest construction projects. He leverages from his reputation and experience to obtain the best possible outcomes for his clients. His services extend to Contractors, Subcontractors, Developers and Property Owners.
Jonathan fosters a strong culture of mentorship and continued professional growth among his team ensuring Bellrock’s advisors are apprised of the ever-evolving legal and contractual framework which makes the property and construction sector so unique.
A strong believer in the value of relationships, Jonathan achieves a deep understanding of his clients’ industry and strategy and then develops a risk framework which complements the business’ immediate needs and future goals. Insurers play a pivotal role in this relationship, being motivated to support the businesses they underwrite and develop long term partnerships of mutual benefit.
“Clients need advice and cover that meets their specific needs. Bespoke coverage takes in-depth understanding to develop and must evolve over time with the client’s goals and insurance market cycles. A specialist advisor will constantly monitor its clients’ risk, to adapt and balance cover in what is an ever changing insurance market”.
Jonathan lives and breathes construction and property development. He believes enterprises in this space should be advised by real specialists, not large, impersonal firms purporting to be so.
