Who is Steadfast and what sets us apart?
In 1996, Steadfast Group (Steadfast) opened its doors with 43 brokerages and an ambition to provide independent general insurance brokers with enhanced buying power and scale when dealing with suppliers.
Today, the Group owns or has equity in over 100 companies and is the largest general insurance broker network and the largest group of underwriting agencies in Australasia, with growing operations in Asia and Europe.
Steadfast was founded on the belief that a network of brokers would be stronger together, and this idea has been the backbone of our culture ever since. We believe that none of us is as good as all of us.
Steadfast has three business units primarily focused on the intermediated general insurance market. By working together, our three business units empower Steadfast to serve our main goal – ensuring our brokers provide their clients with exceptional service and superior products.
At Steadfast we are proud of our diverse mix of people and skills, coming together across multiple businesses to not only support our broker network but to create innovative technologies that will drive the insurance sector forward.
We are leaders of the general insurance broking industry, and we lead from the front. Our people, our global strength, our local knowledge, our scale, and our breadth of capability are just some of the things that set us apart.
