Simon has over 30 years’ experience in the insurance and legal industries. During that time he has been an insurance intermediary and practised as a lawyer (including roles as an insurance partner in private practice).
Bellrock welcomed Simon to the Team in 2024 to lead our professional indemnity practice for construction professionals – a field in which Simon has dedicated himself for more than 18 years.
His focus on this area of risk over the years, across diverse disciplines, has materialised in an unparallelled standing and recognition by the insurance market. Simon is acknowledged as a thought leader in construction professionals’ risk and has been recognised as an Elite broker by Insurance Business Australia for the last 5 years. In 2024 he was awarded the number 1 ranking by that publication.
This recognition exemplifies why he is a trusted advisor to so many customers. He has developed so many long-standing relationships spanning many years and across varying market cycles. Simon works closely with customers to develop a deep understanding of their unique risk profile, thereafter tailoring advice and risk transfer strategies to meet their specific needs.
Simon’s experience extends to managing complex claims as a lawyer and intermediary. He has helped his clients achieve the best possible outcomes on claims by applying his technical and commercial acumen.
The services offered by Simon and his Team include critical analysis of insurance policies and advice on adequacy of cover, extending to the negotiation, placement and administration of insurance programmes. He is truly passionate about risk and always prioritises improved customer experience.
