I have had PI insurance through CGIB for many years. Caroline has always looked after me and no question was left unanswered. Very quick turnaround each year which was easy and painless. Never felt the need to look elsewhere. Thanks for looking after me for over 20 years

Honestly, Aleisha was an absolute lifesaver. I needed to get an urgent $20M public liability policy sorted for our self-managed Owners Corporation so my lawyer could finalize a Section 32 for a property sale. Strata paperwork is usually a total nightmare, but Aleisha made it so easy and stress-free. She actually listened, worked fast, and got it done properly. Can’t recommend her enough!
Andrew Lim
Sarah Liakopoulos at CGIB has been a pleasure to deal with while setting up insurance for my new business. She arranged single transit marine cover for our first import shipment. When I needed public and products liability ahead of our launch, she had a quote to me the next morning and bound the policy the same day. Clear, prompt and easy to work with. Thanks also to Emma for stepping in while Sarah was away. Highly recommended.
