Gow-Gates is pleased to announce that we have acquired a majority shareholding in Strata Fair and Modern Insurance Brokers

Strata insurance is an important and growing segment of the market. About 1 in 6 Australians now live in strata, and together with the commercial strata segment, it's a market where quality expertise and the right values matter.
Strata Fair holds a clear market position as one of Australia's first commission-free strata insurance brokers and does not pay referral fees to strata managers.

Modern Insurance Brokers works closely with strata managers, with an emphasis on fair remuneration and fully transparent fee-only structures. Both companies have values strongly aligned with our own with their focus on clients, transparency and integrity.

Founder Seepahn Ingilizian brings deep specialist expertise and has built a highly regarded team. We are delighted to be partnering with Seepahn and his colleagues as we continue to strengthen our capabilities in this sector.

Both businesses will continue to operate under their existing brands and Seepahn will continue as Managing Director.
