Envest Group Unveils TLI Underwriting to Serve Heavy Motor Fleets?w=400
Envest Group, a prominent player in the Australian insurance sector, has announced the launch of TLI Underwriting, a new agency dedicated to providing specialized insurance solutions for heavy motor fleet operators.
This strategic move aims to address the unique challenges faced by larger transport businesses in Australia.

Scheduled to commence operations at the end of August 2025, TLI Underwriting will function as an authorized representative of ATL Insurance Group, Envest's existing heavy motor specialist underwriter. While ATL has traditionally focused on small to medium-sized transport owner-operators, TLI is set to broaden the company's reach by catering specifically to the larger fleet segment.

Richard Heilig, CEO of Envest Agencies, emphasized the significance of this development: "While ATL continues to focus on SME transport owner-operators, TLI allows us to broaden our reach and better serve the larger fleet segment with specialized products and underwriting expertise."

Leading TLI Underwriting is Pat Miller, formerly the CEO of PSC's Australian and UK broking operations. Miller brings a wealth of experience to the role and is joined by Luke Sellars, who will serve as Head of Underwriting. Sellars was previously the Queensland Manager at GT Insurance.

Miller highlighted the existing gap in the market for dedicated service and support to brokers working with heavy motor fleet operators. "TLI Underwriting is here to fill that gap with a comprehensive insurance program that delivers real value to fleet businesses," he stated.

For transport and logistics companies operating larger fleets, this development presents an opportunity to access tailored insurance solutions that address their specific needs. TLI's emphasis on service, risk management, and long-term partnerships aligns with the industry's demand for more personalized and efficient insurance services.

As the transport sector continues to evolve, the introduction of TLI Underwriting signifies a proactive approach to meeting the complex requirements of larger fleet operators. Businesses in this segment are encouraged to explore the offerings of TLI to ensure their insurance coverage is both comprehensive and aligned with their operational needs.
