Key Insurance Partners, founded and led by Keith Riddle, has launched as a boutique authorised representative network.

The business has some ARs joining in the next 12 months and is in conversations with other brokerages.

Mr Riddle says the network will provide the infrastructure, capability and support expected from an established AR network, while maintaining the accessibility, relationships and responsiveness of a boutique business.

“Rather than pursuing scale for the sake of scale, our focus is on developing the right partnerships with experienced brokers who value independence, accessibility and a genuine relationship with their network,” Mr Riddle told insuranceNEWS.com.au.

“We’re now commencing conversations with experienced brokers and brokerage principals who would like to learn more about the Key Insurance Partners model.”

Mr Riddle says the model is structured around supporting growth and strengthening businesses through technology and operational support, training, strategic partnerships and practical resources, while providing foundations to operate with confidence through claims support, compliance, legal help, risk management and governance.

Mr Riddle has more than 30 years’ experience in the insurance broking industry.
