Announcing the expansion, national managing partner Michael Pitt said ‘Perth has always been part of our strategy and it now completes our national coverage. But we had to make sure the fit and skills were right. As soon as I met Phil and the team, I knew we had found what we’d been waiting for.’
Commenting on his appointment, Phil said ‘I’m delighted to be joining a firm that has such a strong profile in the insurance industry. The firm’s collegiate culture combined with its specialist insurance strategy made it an obvious choice for my practice.’
