- OUR PRACTICE & PHILOSOPHY
At Business Insurance Group (BIG), the personal approach we take is what sets us apart. We get to know your business, then place your insurances across a broad market of insurers, all with the close, responsive feel of a small team who knows your name. Our focus is simplicity and transparency: we take the stress off your plate and deliver cover built around your needs and your budget.
With specialist insight, we remove the complexity and provide purpose-built cover you can understand and be confident in. We fit the pieces together, so your insurance puzzle is complete.
Our reputation is built on claims. When you pay a premium, you want the peace of mind that someone is on your side the moment you need them, and representing you well when it counts is what we do best.
We also review your cover regularly, so it keeps pace as your business grows and changes. Time after time, as things shift, we work with you to make sure you stay properly protected.

Morgan Jones
Partner & Senior Account Executive
LLB, DIP IB | AUTHORISED REPRESENATIVE (No. 404647)

Morgan discovered insurance on what he saw as his path to becoming a lawyer. Morgan’s original role was to review client files ensuring that the highest standard of compliance and accuracy was maintained. Through this role, he developed a passion for the insurance industry and in particular, the crucial function that it plays in the economy. He was thrilled to realise that his legal qualifications could serve him to understand the complex needs and exposures of businesses and help them to adequately protect their assets and revenue. Morgan uses a common-sense approach to business and risk management and takes the time to understand the finer details of insurance contracts so that his clients don’t need to. This also involves staying up to date on current and relevant case law in these areas.
Another effect of this sophisticated understanding has been that Morgan has been able to get hundreds of claims overturned and uplifted based on his thorough understanding of a client’s entitlements, which he says has been one of the most rewarding parts of his job. Morgan went on to complete his Bachelor of Laws along with his Diploma of Insurance Broking and has since become an equity partner in our business.
Morgan can work with almost every industry and policy type imaginable but has a focus on Construction Insurance, Complex Liability (including onerous contracts and ‘Hard to Place’), Professional Indemnity, Industrial Special Risks (large schedules of Commercial Property, including those with High Hazard tenants) and Sports Insurance.
