OUR STORY

For over 35 years, our team of insurance professionals has worked hand in hand with Earthmoving and Civil Contractors across Australia to bring you effective and affordable insurance solutions.

In the early 2000’s, we realised that the industry had come to a standstill - All policies and insurance covers available fell short of customers’ needs and expectations; with all options requiring our clients to make compromises on what coverage was most important to them.

Given our significant database of clients, and the understanding we had compiled from our clients’ diverse exposures not being met, we committed ourselves to developing HMIS – Heavy Motor and Machinery Insurance Solutions.

By bundling the necessary benefits of all available offerings in the insurance industry and combining this with a thorough annual review and improvement regime, we developed a product like no other. We now maintain a top-tier Earthmoving and Civil Contracting insurance solution.

We have negotiated a long-term commitment with National Transport Insurance, Australia’s largest heavy transport insurer, bringing the support of two of Australia’s most reputable underwriters, AAI Insurance (Suncorp) and CGU Insurance.
