Network Marine Insurance, a longtime supporter of the marine industry, is the latest business to commit its support to the marina industry through its investment in Bronze Sponsorship of the Marina Industries Association (MIA).
100% Australian owned and backed by the security of ASX-100 listed Steadfast Group, Network Marine Insurance specialises in marine risk management including marinas, clubs and boatyards, as well as other businesses in the marine sector including boat manufacturers and repairers, retailers and dealers.
To ensure you know you are dealing with someone who understands a marine business, Network Marine Insurance has assembled a formidable team of highly experience brokers with expertise across a myriad of marine occupations, industry and roles. This specialist knowledge and interest ensures they can tailor bespoke solutions for marine businesses.
National Manager, Peter Bellingham (or ‘Brush’ as he is generally known in the industry) has been involved in the industry for over 30 years, both professionally and personally. Brush is an avid boater and highly regarded competitive sailor. Commenting on the partnership Brush said, “I am really excited to be working with the MIA and marinas. I spend a lot of time at marinas, especially when I am sailing and it is easy to spot a well-run facility. The MIA does a tremendous job in providing industry with support to manage their operations and mitigate business risk, so it makes good business sense to provide this additional industry support.”
For MIA members, Network Marine offer specialist risk management solutions tailored to marina operations, covering property, liability, business interruption, and environmental risks. Their extensive insurer network gives them access to competitive coverage and expert guidance, helping marinas and marine businesses manage risk effectively.
On announcing this new MIA Partnership, Suzanne Davies, MIA CEO said, “It is great to have insurers and brokers recognise the efforts of the MIA in this way. As a not-for profit industry association, partnerships like this allow us to further invest in initiatives to support our marinas and boatyards. We are very grateful to Network Marine Insurance.”
Network Marine Insurance representatives look forward to meeting marina owners and operators as they attend MIA meetings around the country and is looking forward to Marinas26 having already secured their exhibition space for the event in May next year.
Industry sponsorship is a great way for those supplying products and services to marina businesses to remain top of mind. As Davies noted, “In a recent MIA Member survey, it was reported that nearly 70 per cent of members would actively consider MIA sponsors when making purchasing and acquisition decisions. The MIA looks forward to a strong and mutually beneficial partnership with Network Marine Insurance into the future and I am confident members will provide their support”.
Details of all MIA sponsors and partners can be found on the MIA website.
