Viki Fennell | Guest Speaker |
PP Kim Stokes introduced our very own Viki Fennell as Guest Speaker today! Viki has worked in the financial advice and insurance industry for many years. According to Kim she enjoys Hockey and Gym, has a daughter in Yr 12, went “Dry in July” and now enjoys “Thirsty on Thursdays”! Viki explained how she came into the financial and insurance industry by accident, working for various small companies. This all changed with the financial reforms act which raised new compliance issues, the need for recognized qualifications and ongoing up skilling through continuing professional development. Advisors can face severe penalties for non compliance. With the changes in the industry, mergers have occurred to improve efficiency and economies of scale. Electronic and online quotes for access to better premiums are now possible, with the insurance broker doing the legwork for you. Brokers can help with annual reviews and with claims as well. Other services offered include valuations for insurance purposes, risk management (essential to minimize workers compensation premiums, for example) and assessing and reading contracts for clients.

To be successful in this industry, a broad knowledge of the available products is essential. It is a people orientated business and permits improved understanding of other industries. Viki was warmly thanked very succinctly by Ian Burrows!
