Extensive Clientele Built Over 25 Years

TEAMWORK is a vital ingredient in the recipe for success that Mawhinney Insurance Brokers Pty Ltd has followed for the past 25 years.
Established in Newcastle in 1978, the Hamilton-based firm has since built up a clientele which extends throughout NSW and southern Queensland.
In this time, as well as providing both individual and business insurance advice at all levels, it has also developed a strong reputation in other areas.
These include the hospitality industry, where its client base extends to more than 600 hotels, motels, clubs and liquor stores.
Hundreds of small business and tradespeople are among the many other clients who have also reaped the benefit of the Mawhinney expertise in the insurance industry since the establishment of the firm.
A function at Noah's on the Beach last week celebrated the 25th anniversary of the business.
While managing director Reg Mawhinney has remained at the helm of the firm since he founded it, he attributes much of its success to the individual efforts and abilities of his staff and to their collective work as a team.
``They have all passed the examinations necessary to meet all government criteria," he said.
``Another reason for our success is the fact that we are continually looking for new markets, and new avenues to place business for our clients.
``We get a lot of referrals from existing clients in fact, most of our business comes from word of mouth."
The comprehensive insurance service provided by the Mawhinney firm includes commercial and retail insurance, cover for homes, personal assets and motor vehicles, employment liability, fire, business interruption, burglary and industrial special risks.
Also available is insurance cover for contractors, such as plant and machinery and special risks.
Green slips, directors and officers' liability, employment liability and personal accident and illness also come within the areas of expertise of Mawhinney Insurance Brokers, which is a member of the National Insurance Brokers Association.
The range of other insurance matters on which the firm's staff can also advise and help include pleasurecraft, strata insurance, professional indemnity, and public and products liability, providing cover for claims made on a business by members of the public.
Aware that insurance premiums often present their clients with a large, annual up-front expense, Mawhinney Insurance Brokers offers the option of premium funding, which allows insurance payments to be spread over six to 10 months.
This has the additionaladvantage of helping with cash flow.
The offices of Mawhinney Insurance Brokers Pty Ltd are located at 103 Beaumont Street, Hamilton.
