Established in October 2019, Barrack Broking is a boutique risk solutions business with offices in Sydney and Brisbane. Directors Charles Gow-Gates and Graeme Hay lead a group of specialist risk and insurance professionals with a broad range of service capabilities, including alternative risk transfer, risk consulting and general broking.
The founding of Barrack Broking is inspired by the greatest event in Australian insurance history. In 1849, a group of like-minded individuals with a desire to help others established the Australian Mutual Provident Society. Beginning in a small, leased space above a fruit shop in the Sydney CBD, opposite Barrack Gate, the mutual innovated and grew to become the largest insurer in the British Empire.
The Barrack Broking team embraces the values of mutuality and resourcefulness, underpinned by a sincere desire to understand and help others. The company uses its position of leadership to drive positive change for stakeholders and community and, as a principal-owned business, it is committed to building long-term partnerships and delivering enduring value to clients and staff.
