UAC member profile: Tim Fairbrother

Tim Fairbrother, CEO of Ocean Underwriting, considers launching the company his most significant career achievement. Taking the risk to start from scratch and build something he truly believes in has been immensely fulfilling. A highlight for Tim is forming a talented team whose depth of knowledge and strong work ethic has ensured their early success.

Ocean Underwriting joined UAC in early 2024 to become part of a community that supports and promotes the interests of underwriting agencies in Australia. The networking opportunities, industry insights, and professional development resources have been invaluable.

Tim sees a significant opportunity for UAC to advocate for agencies and brokers, especially as interest in engaging with underwriting agencies grows. He believes agencies can drive collective growth in the industry by adopting advanced underwriting solutions, leveraging technology, and maintaining high service levels.

Tim appreciates UAC’s relationship-building opportunities and values the expos, the chance to engage with existing and potential customers, and the support network of like-minded professionals that UAC provides.
