Voice it - Brian McInerney: One of the Founding Fathers of MGA Insurance
Description
In this episode, you'll meet Brian McInerney, one of the founding fathers of one of the top insurance brokerages in Australia. He’s the 'M' in MGA insurance.
We will, of course , talk about MGA’s astronomical growth from humble beginnings back in 1975 to now over 65 thousand clients and a branch network across Australia and one in Cambodia. But we’ll also find out more about the Brian’s background, his humble beginnings growing up in Melrose with his family, his love for footy and tennis, a high school stint at Sacred Heart College at Glenelg, and then doing an apprenticeship as a fitter and turner working for BHP at Iron Knob and Iron Baron near Whyalla.
So, how does a fitter and turner end up in insurance, to then running one of the biggest insurance brokerages in Australia?
Well, you'll have to listen. It's an inspirational tale, a rags to riches story. He's now 80 years old and retired from MGA, but he still sits on the board.
Enjoy the journey with Brian McInerney.
