PNOinsurance began in 1977 when Peter Philp, John Newby, and Marty Owen joined forces to create an insurance broking business, hence the name, PNO. From the start, they believed in focusing on a few areas and excelling in them, rather than trying to be everything to everyone. This philosophy continues to drive us today.
With a team of more than 70 professionals, PNO operates through dedicated specialist teams providing strategic, commercially focused insurance solutions.
Proudly 100% independently owned, PNO remains free from ties to insurers, consolidators or private equity, allowing us to give genuinely unbiased advice. As one of Australia’s largest independent brokers, they’re big enough to handle even the most complex risks, while remaining personal, responsive and client‑focused.
