Printing Industries recently signed the world’s leading insurance broker and risk advisor, Marsh, as its endorsed industry insurance broker.

Of interest to those companies that are looking for insurance or expanding their insurance.  Marsh employs more than 26,000 staff in 100 countries (1200 in Australia) and as part of the Marsh & McLennan Companies(MMC) has annual revenues approaching $11 billion.

Marsh NSW Managing Client Service Consultant, Gavin Parkinson, has worked on development of this nationally available service from the beginning.

“Our insurance solution includes tailor made extensions to meet risk exposures that are unique to the printing industry.

"As the worlds leading risk and insurance advisor we have used our extensive resources to design insurance solutions for the industry by helping our clients  embrace risk mitigation as a core element of their strategy,” Mr Parkinson said.
