**Assistant Underwriter -**
**Motor Fleet**
HDI Global SE - Germany’s leading industrial insurer - has been
servicing German and European companies in Australia and New
Zealand since 1995. HDI Global SE, Australia has since expanded to
service Australian and New Zealand Corporate clients from our
headquarters in Sydney and our branch offices in Melbourne,
Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

As an industrial lines insurer, HDI Global SE (HDI) meets the needs of
SMEs, industrial companies and corporate customers with insurance
solutions that are specifically tailored to their requirements. In
addition to HDI's prominent position in the German and broader
European market, the company also has operations in more than 175
countries through foreign branch offices, subsidiary and peer
companies, and network partners. The company is thus able to offer
its customers local policies for their global operations, which ensure
that the established service and insurance protection is extended for
all covered risks world-wide.

Since launching in early 2023 Motor has surpassed all expectations with HDI being seen as a
go-to market for Motor Fleet of all policy types and fleet compositions.

Whilst still considered ‘new’, our broker partners have become accustomed to approaching
us for Motor Fleet solutions. Piggy backing off the already strong HDI brand, HDI Motor Fleet
has become a natural market to approach in this highly contested and long established
space.

For this reason we expanded our presence and are now represented in Sydney, Melbourne,
Queensland & Perth, with plans to further expand into Adelaide.
