ABOUT THE INSURANCE COLLECTIVE
Beginnings
Ryan McBrearty founded our original company, The Team Insurance Brokers, working from the lounge corner in his family’s ‘tiny’ home. His long-standing friendship and professional history with business partner Ashley, dating back nearly 20 years, made joining forces a natural progression. Together, they set out to create something different: a broking business built from the ground up with a client-first philosophy.

The vision
With over 50 years of combined experience, Ryan and Ashley have witnessed the industry shift toward corporate priorities over client interests. Their vision is simple: provide clients with the service they deserve. To do this, they chose to reduce client numbers and focus on work-life balance, ensuring brokers have the time and energy to deliver exceptional service.
The approach
Ryan and Ashley don’t chase bonuses or growth at the expense of service. By keeping overheads low and focusing on existing clients, they deliver attentive, cost-effective and personalised support. Their brokers are available when you need them and fully committed to your needs.
Why it works
When brokers enjoy a balanced life, it translates into a superior level of service and better outcomes for clients.
This philosophy is the foundation that allows The Insurance Collective to provide reliable, caring, and responsive service - every client receives the attention they deserve.
Integrity at the core
Every client benefits from a broker who genuinely cares about their financial well-being. No corporate pressures, no distractions - just dedicated advice and support.
Support team
A talented part-time team handles much of the day-to-day processing, freeing our brokers to do what they do best: support clients and negotiate deals.
