Broking company Cowden says Barry Drinkwater has joined as GM for WA. 

Mr Drinkwater was most recently 360 Underwriting Solutions WA regional manager, a role he took up in July 2023 after leaving Marsh Advantage Insurance, according to his LinkedIn. Prior to Marsh, he was QBE Insurance national relationship manager. 

Cowden CEO Australia Veronica Grigg says Mr Drinkwater brings “deep industry knowledge, strong market relationships and a proven ability to build successful teams” to the business. 

“His national leadership experience and understanding of both broking and underwriting will bring valuable perspective to our Western Australian business,” she said. 

“Our clients will benefit from his market knowledge, insurer relationships and commitment to practical, tailored insurance solutions supported by outstanding service.”
