Professionals trying to understand the complex world of liability insurance have come to learn that Byron McPherson is one of the country’s leading ‘go to’ people.

Byron is recognised as a leader in the industry. A number of insurance companies even choose to come direct to him to offer exclusive access to their insurance products. They know he will fully understand the extent of risks involved with each client’s activities and that the recommendations he makes are sound.

His expertise and global industry network means that Byron is often called upon to find a solution when other advisors are unable to assist. “I’m sometimes called the ‘guru”, he laughs. “I love what I do and I’m passionate about the industry and the challenges it throws me every day”.

Byron has run his own Authorised Representative insurance broker business for seven years after starting his career 30 years ago when he was selected by a US insurance company for a competitive, merit-based internship. “I started off in banking, but I knew it wasn’t the career for me. Going to the USA home office was the best decision I’ve ever made and I haven’t looked back,” he says.

In his spare time, Byron enjoys keeping active by running, swimming and playing tennis and walking his energetic dogs.
