We ask that you consider their products and services when contemplating your next purchase. 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, such as boat manufacturers, repairers, retailers, and dealers. To ensure its customers are dealing with professionals who truly understand marine businesses, Network Marine Insurance has assembled a formidable team of highly experienced brokers with expertise across a myriad of marine occupations, industries, and roles. This specialist knowledge and passion ensure they can tailor bespoke solutions for marine businesses. National Manager Peter Bellingham, or ‘Brush’ as he is widely known in the industry, has been actively involved in the marine sector for over 30 years, both professionally and personally. An avid boater and highly regarded competitive sailor, Brush has a strong background in both sailing and power boating. In his earlier years, he was also involved in boat building, giving him a hands-on understanding of the craftsmanship, engineering, and operational challenges within the industry. With a deep passion for the marine sector, Brush brings a practical and informed approach to marine risk management. His career has seen him work closely with industry leaders, insurers, and business owners to deliver tailored insurance solutions that protect assets and ensure operational resilience. Commenting on Network Marine Insurance’s partnership with the MIA, 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’s easy to spot a well-run facility. The MIA does a tremendous job in providing industry support to help operators manage their businesses effectively and mitigate risk. It makes good business sense to reinforce this 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.
