Julie joined the insurance industry in 1996 as part of her father's underwriting agency business, Parks Insurance. She then decided to expand her knowledge of insurance through an international broking firm; however after 2 years she made the move back to the family business where she could continue to specialise in insuring caravan parks. Before selling Parks Insurance to Lumley in 2006, Julie and her father Rob had established themselves as the "parks and resorts industry" insurance specialists increasing their portfolio from just 22 parks to over 1400 parks Australia wide. Julie had built many wonderful relationships with her customers and couldn't dream of not being there for them, so when the business was sold she ensured that she was able to join the Lumley team where she would still be able to apply her expertise and support to her clients.
Julie is now heading up All Parks Insurance where her aim remains unchanged, to continue supporting the Caravan Park industry as their specialist underwriting agency. Julie sees the Caravan Park industry as part of her extended family and strives to provide them with the old fashioned service and work ethics they deserve. She values commitment, honesty and integrity and is there to take each step in the insurance process along with her clients from the beginning right through to the end.
Julie is an ANZIIF (Senior Associate) CIP and also holds a Diploma of Financial Services (Insurance Broking).
Matt began his working career as part of Sales Executive team for one of Australia's largest telecommunications providers however after a company restructure in 2000 he decided to make the move across to the Insurance Industry where he found his niche working with claims.
Matt started out working in the major loss team for a large Australian insurance company where he was exposed to numerous complex claims. He also spent almost an entire year dedicated to processing catastrophe claims at his Melbourne based office following Cyclone Yasi in 2011. Taking a break, Matt chose to broaden his experience outside the insurance industry when he accepted the position of Insurance and Risk Management with the City of Boroondara in Victoria where he was required to manage all of the Council's liability claims, risk assessments and fleet of vehicles. This was an invaluable experience and he transferred all of these skills across when he decided to return to the insurance industry working with commercial claims and then as an Industrial Special Risks claims manager.
Matt joined All Parks Insurance in September 2014 and his passion and dedication is the perfect accompaniment for the team's overall dedication to the Caravan Park Industry.
