Metrix Connect says it has expanded its national authorised representative network by more than 300% in the past year and many more ARs will join in coming months.

The Steadfast-partnered network puts its growth down to a progressive model that is resonating with professionals who want more control, value and support.

“Our model empowers authorised representatives to grow their own businesses without being weighed down by inflated fees, restrictive structures or clunky legacy systems,” Metrix Insurance Group MD Nicholas Bjazevic said.  

He sees last year’s growth as “validation of our belief that experienced brokers are ready for a smarter alternative that combines freedom with scale, and independence with backing”.

Metrix Connect says ARs can access global insurer relationships through the Steadfast Group, plus market-leading support and systems. It offers a choice of broking and document management systems, compliance workflows and advanced quote automation.

More than 150 local and international insurance markets are available through Steadfast and specialty partnerships, and tailored compliance, marketing, onboarding and operational support is provided.

Mr Bjazevic says AR feedback is that the technology, responsive support and fair commercial structure are key incentives to join the network.  

Metrix Insurance Group is a Melbourne-based specialist brokerage specialising in prestige vehicles, luxury homes and complex corporate and commercial programs.  

In 2024 it partnered with Ferrari to launch Ferrari Insurance in Australia, a global first for the sports car brand.
