It’s June…which means the General Insurance industry is officially in overdrive.

I checked in with the team especially our newer staff experiencing their first EOFY sprint to see how they’re surviving the chaos.

First June in the new office and the energy is unreal...

Just how Important is Adequate Management of Claims to an Insurance Broker's Value Proposition?

In my opinion it is critical and that is why hiring Belinda Storey is one of the best decisions I have made in 10 years of owning DLB Insurance.

Recently we were appointed on a Mid Market Account that has a Large Heavy Motor & Plant Fleet.

The main reason the client chose to work with us and move Brokers? - They'd been told for a number of years that managing claims was not part of the service agreement and received very little assistance from their now former Insurance Broker.

DLB has two dedicated Claims Managers in Belinda Storey & Chris Redlich so you can be rest assured that when you need us the most - we wont let you down or leave you to your own devices to manage claims yourself.

That is the standard - Always.

Meet The Team – Josh Lilburn

Another example of the right skillset joining DLB from a non‑insurance background.

I’ve said it for years. There is a genuine war on talent in our industry. As the MD of an Insurance Brokerage, you can either fuel the problem by poaching competitors’ staff and paying overs, or you can be part of the solution by identifying high‑calibre people outside the industry and giving them the platform to succeed.

That is exactly what we have done with Josh, and it is exactly what we will continue to do as we grow.

DLB is not interested in shortcuts. We build our own talent. We invest in people with the right attitude and potential, and we develop them into brokers who deliver a higher standard of service and accountability. Josh is a clear example of that approach working, and he is already proving why backing the right people pays off.

Meet The Team – Blake Wise

I have always believed that certain skills are highly transferable to the Insurance Industry. Customer service and people skills sit at the top of that list.

But success also comes down to qualities you cannot teach. The right attitude. A strong work ethic. A willingness to learn. Being coachable.

When you meet someone who has these attributes, it becomes the employer’s responsibility to create the environment that sets them up for success.

• The right people around them to coach, mentor and train
• The right culture
• Clear communication around expectations and standards

I knew as soon as I met Blake that he had the attributes needed to become an excellent Insurance Broker. DLB will always back people like Blake by giving them the environment and support they need to succeed.

DLB has built its reputation on developing talent, setting high standards and delivering a level of service that clients can rely on. Investing in people like Blake is exactly why our clients trust us with their Insurance Programs.

Meet The Team – Grant Castle

Grant joined DLB in 2023 and has genuinely found his stride.

He is building a strong portfolio of clients and uses his people skills to form productive and mutually beneficial partnerships with the Insurers and Underwriters we work with. His focus is always on securing the right outcomes for our clients.

If you want a fresh set of eyes over your Insurance Program or you want a Broker who consistently delivers the small but important one percent actions like responding promptly, answering your calls and going into bat for you with Insurers, Grant is your guy.

Grant’s technical knowledge is solid. He completed his apprenticeship as an Insurance Broker under Meagan Solomon over several years.

Material Damage Insurance for Metal Roofers is a must have in my opinion...

In this video I will share a couple of reasons why...

I know this belief isn't always shared by many Roofers or even many other Insurance Brokers however ill die on the hill continuing to discuss this coverage with each roofing client we deal with, at renewal, every single year without fail...

Meet the Team – Meagan Solomon

Meags has been a vital part of DLB for five years, joining when the business was just myself and one other employee. Since then, both the business and the team have grown significantly.

Meagan has played a key role in training and mentoring numerous staff and embedding best‑practice Insurance Broking as a non‑negotiable standard across the business.

I’ve personally known Meagan for 15 years through the Insurance Industry, and I’m incredibly grateful that we’ve been on this journey together.

Thank you, Meags, for everything you do for DLB, our staff, and our clients — your contribution is felt every day.
