Brittany Zimmer is a managing director of claims and associate general counsel at Euclid Transactional, where she has handled representation and warranty claims for over four years. Zimmer helps manage Euclid’s claims team as it works to create a seamless and transparent claims process with a focus on service and consistency. She engages directly with insureds throughout the process to ensure fair, efficient resolutions.
Zimmer and her team serve as the interface between Euclid’s insureds and carrier partners, and a significant part of her work focuses on maintaining strong relationships with those partners by ensuring that all needs are met in a timely, effective manner.
Since joining Euclid in 2019, the claims team has grown from four to 21 members and the company has seen tremendous growth in terms of both policies underwritten and overall team size. As a result, Zimmer has focused on managing a rising number of claims while taking an active role in training new team members. She has directly trained a large percentage of the claims staff and is an informal mentor to many others, as well as taken a leading role in building out training opportunities and cross-team collaboration within the broader company.

How does he distinguish himself among fellow brokers?
“I believe all brokers are working very hard in a difficult market,” he says. “However, I have demonstrated continued growth, advocacy and performance on my client’s behalf, which is now recognised [for 10 consecutive years] in the Elite Broker awards.”
In 1990, Dixon got started with FAI, working in claims and as a team leader. From the late 1990s up until 2003, he worked at FAI and Suncorp in underwriting and as an area manager at VACC, CGU (South East Queensland). From 2003 to 2012, he got into broking and eventually started Dixon Insurance in 2013. Since then, he’s accumulated numerous acccolades, including Elite Broker, Diversity and Equity, and Fast Broker awards.
During the pandemic, Dixon challenged insurers over the Quarantine Act application to insurance wordings. His argument was that the Quarantine Act does not apply as an exclusion, as the Biosecurity Act was invoked by the Morrison Government, and this was not a subsequent amendment to the Quarantine Act. The test case in the Appeals court was won for Dixon’s client with a unanimous five-judge verdict.
He remains focused on transport, manufacturing, motor trade, engineering and large farm clients.
What are his plans for the future?
On a business level, “more of the same. I will continue to empower and encourage my staff to perform at their best as I have done for the last decade. I will continue to advocate for my clients, embracing new technology and being open to business and industry changes.”
On a personal level, Dixon invests significant time, effort and funds, along with his GT3, to support many charities through his passion for motorsport. From participating in and sponsoring the Thunderbolt Run (which provides tens of thousands of dollars in support for Beyond Blue and Prostate Cancer), to organising and running the Track Knights for Amira charity night where 28 Exotic Supercars raised funds through passenger laps in wet conditions, Dixon states “this is our time to give back to the community and those in need. My friendships and association with those seeking to do the same, allows us to contribute to those less fortunate and raise funds and awareness”.
He adds: “To be able to give back to the community is rewarding and fulfilling. I am honoured to be in a position where I can raise funds for those less fortunate and in need.”
