    Millsy & Mick Podcast #37 – Daniel Gronert & Bernie van Altena – Arteva Funding

    Millsy & Mick Podcast #37 – Daniel Gronert & Bernie van Altena – Arteva Funding

    Hi all, in this episode we have Daniel and Bernie from Arteva Funding, who took time out of their travels to stop in for a chat.

     

    We learn some history of Arteva, with the merger from 3 ½ years ago through to how they’ve achieved their incredible growth.  The numbers are staggering!  We do a deep dive into what Daniel & Bernie see in the market, terms of the funding percentages and how increases can help improve broking businesses across several areas.

     

    Arteva’s DNA is to make funding easy, which definitely comes across in the way they do business with Ausure.

     

    We hope you enjoy this one.

    Millsy & Mick Podcast #36 – Darren Free, Claims Manager

    Millsy & Mick Podcast #36 – Darren Free, Claims Manager

    Hi all, in this episode we have the nicest hard person in claims…Mr Darren Free, who shares his insights into what he and his claims team are seeing in the market.  When we say “hard”, it’s because every day we hear how he and his
    team work hard to push for the best result for the client.

     

    We also deep dive into a few “sexy” claims examples and get Darrens hot take on them, from how our brokers got an amazing result for the client, to some housekeeping areas we can all work on.

     

    Darren has been running the Ausure Claims Department for what seems like 8 decades now, yet somehow he remains enthused with providing a service that delivers for our network.  You can hear it in his voice in this episode!

     

    We hope you enjoy this one.

    Millsy & Mick Podcast #35 – Ellie Laidlaw & Michelle Wild

     

    Hi all, in this episode we have the lot…and more!  Somehow we convinced our CFO Ellie Laidlaw and Finance Manager Michelle Wild, to put down their spreadsheets in mid June to come chat with us. 

     

    We covered a fair bit on this episode, with a deep dive into Audits and how they positively affect broker operations, along with getting an insight into the time spent – and value achieved – out of the budgets.  We talk about the great Ausure-only benchmarking data we have available at our brokers fingertips, and get a look behind the curtains to see a day in the life of the Accounts team.

    Millsy & Mick Podcast #34 - South Africa, Training Subsidy & Ausure Camp Trip

    Millsy & Mick Podcast #34 -  South Africa, Training Subsidy & the Ausure Camp Trip

     

    Hi all, we’re recently back from South Africa and needed
    a few days to recover from a local cough…and some jet lag…and some Pinotage…

     

    In this episode we are pumped to talk about our overseas
    conference and the fun we had from safaris to wine tours.  We deep dive into the Training & Promotion Programme with our partners SafetyCulture Care, Dual, UAA/Mecon and introducing Point Insurance. We also announce an exciting new extension to the training subsidy. Look out Tier 2’s!

     

    We finish with some campfire confessions for the upcoming annual Ausure Camp trip. If you’ve been living under a rock and are not sure what it’s about, have a listen then touch base with Millsy and I. This year will be even bigger!

     

    We hope you enjoy this one.

    Millsy & Mick Podcast # 32 - Trent Brown from Allstate

    Millsy & Mick Podcast # 32 - Trent Brown from Allstate

    Hi all, in this episode we have an industry legend and
    the G.O.A.T of storytime….Mr Trent Brown. 

     

    We deep dive with Trent about Allstate’s first play into
    SME Business Package insurance, along with how Allstate’s Claims and
    Underwriting service are differentiating themselves in the market.  We get
    a good Farm update and a sneak introduction to their new Livestock product.

     

    Full disclosure…Millsy couldn’t make this one as he was
    busy holding the fort for most of Ausure, as he always does.  But he was
    there in spirit and will be back with his unique insights on our next podcast.

     

    We hope you enjoy this one.
