What do you do in your role?
Suzie Cromb: As a Business Risk Adviser, I have discussions with my Members around their new business or ongoing insurance requirements. I often go out and meet with business owners and practice managers to discuss how their business or practice works. And what their risk mitigation processes are if any and then what insurance options they have to help mitigate this. I also like to ensure they understand their insurance coverage. And it's really important to me to get to know our Members and understand them so I can provide them with the best advice.
Why is Business Insurance important?
