Based in Victoria, GGIB was established in 1989 and has since grown to become one of the largest regional independent insurance brokers in Australia. The company is well-diversified, with expertise in commercial, industrial, transport, logistics, pleasure-craft, agri-risk, and personal insurance.

The transaction involved cash and scrip in PSC, with some of the purchase consideration subject to adjustment under typical revenue-related mechanisms.
