Stockinsure: 30 years and counting!
Over the span of three decades, the Stockinsure program has safeguarded billions in turnover and seen a continuous growth in its buyers list and member shareholder community. This enduring success stands as a remarkable testament to the strength and efficacy of both the program and its developer, Stock & Station Agents Co-operative Limited, and is now recognised as one of the strongest co-operatives in the country.
Of course, our founding livestock agent directors knew it wouldn’t fail from day one, because there was nothing else available that protected livestock agents against financial losses from defaulting purchasers that had the Co-operative bulk buying power such as Stockinsure.
They were quickly vindicated too, after two big abattoirs in New South Wales collapsed. While some agents caught up in the crash were left high and dry, our members recouped $500,000.
From that point, some would say the rest is history on our 30-year journey of going from strength to strength. The founding Central West Selling Agents Co-operative Limited soon attracted the State sales agents association in NSW, then Victoria and South Australia came on board, the co-operative later expanded into Queensland, and it didn’t take long for the Northern Territory and Western Australia to follow the lead.
QBE Insurance was our first underwriter, however four companies support the member base today and the options have extended significantly from debtor insurance to a full suite of specialised solutions, including transit insurance in more recent times. Together with our primary insurance, the transit option also is appreciated by producers as much as our agents and continues to underline the support for our members and of the Stockinsure program.
Built by agents, for agents and continually directed with agent experience has remained the platform for strength, growth and high respect, including from financial institutions. Ongoing, high-level intelligence from our directors and member base across the country helps drive an efficient program that offers the most competitive solutions in the industry.
This has all added up to peace of mind for our members, their clients, and, importantly, for their financiers, all while also growing their own investment in Stock & Station Agents Co-operative Limited and the role they play in an industry stronghold. It’s a strength that we all know, despite the cycles and challenges of our industry, will continue to steadfastly grow. Bring on the next 30 years!
