We are proudly celebrating our 20th anniversary this year, marking two decades of growth, resilience and commitment to delivering specialist insurance solutions across Australia. During that time, LAUW have written more than 60,000 policies, supported over 55,000 clients and paid more than $80 million in claims.

This milestone reflects a journey that began with a vision to provide tailored, specialist underwriting solutions and has evolved into one of Australia's most respected underwriting agencies. Looking back on the company's early days and comparing them to where the business stands today highlights not only significant growth, but also the enduring values that have guided LAUW since its inception.

"Our 20th anniversary is a proud moment for everyone who has been part of LAUW's story," said Steve Walker, Director of LAUW.

"While we celebrate the milestones we have achieved, what matters most are the relationships we've built over two decades. The trust placed in us by our broker partners, customers and insurer partners has been the foundation of our success. We are incredibly grateful for that support and excited about the opportunities ahead. Building on 20 years of success, we will continue to invest in our specialist underwriting capabilities and product suite, providing brokers with responsive solutions for Professional and Financial Lines, supported by a team that understands the industries we serve."

Declan Rye, Director of LAUW, said the figures represent far more than business growth.

"Every policy, every client and every claim represents a relationship and a responsibility. Behind those numbers are businesses, families and communities that have trusted us to protect what matters most. Our focus has always been on delivering specialist expertise and exceptional service, and that commitment remains unchanged."

The anniversary celebrations also provide an opportunity to reflect on the people who have contributed to LAUW's success, including customers, broker partners, insurers, suppliers and team members whose trust, support and commitment have shaped the business over the past two decades.

Looking ahead, LAUW remains focused on building on its strong foundations for its Professional and Financial Lines product suite, while continuing to evolve with the changing needs of the insurance market.

As the business enters its third decade, the guiding principles that have defined LAUW since day one remain unchanged: being Tailored. Recognised. Trusted.

To our customers, partners and team members: thank you. Your trust, support and commitment over the past 20 years have made this journey possible.
