For us, insurance isn't 'one size fits all'. It's personal.
Most small and medium businesses are left to figure out insurance on their own. Large corporations get dedicated advisers, specialist advice, and proper risk management as a matter of course. Everyone else gets a website and a generic policy.
We're here to fix that.
Putney was founded by John Simmons after 13 years in multinational insurance advisory and risk consulting. Working with some of Australia's largest companies, John saw how good risk advice genuinely changes outcomes. Better claims results. Fewer gaps in cover. Real financial resilience. And almost none of it was available to smaller businesses.
These are the things we genuinely believe, and they shape every conversation we have with a client.
Good advice pays for itself. A well-structured policy with the right terms will almost always outperform a cheap one when it matters most.
The cheapest option on renewal day is rarely the cheapest option after a claim. We look at the full picture, not just the price.
We take the time to actually understand your business. Then we stick around, not just at renewal, but whenever something comes up.
Being properly protected isn't just about avoiding losses. It gives you the confidence to take on bigger jobs, grow your team, and say yes to opportunities you'd otherwise hesitate on.
We focus on four industries and we know them properly. That means better policy terms, advisers who speak your language, and cover that holds up when you need it.
Comprehensive cover for businesses of all sizes: public liability, property, business interruption, and more.
