Sunderland Marine, the fixed premium insurance division of North P&I, has appointed Mia Bredenberg as Australian branch manager with effect from 31 January 2022.
Mia takes over from Chris Kennedy, who is returning to New Zealand’s Nelson office after ten years in Melbourne. Chris will continue to provide general support for the region, primarily with the aquaculture industry.
“We are delighted to welcome Mia as manager of our Australian operations,” said director, Craig McBurnie. “Mia possesses a wealth of experience in management and operations, and she will play a key role in meeting our local and global business objectives.”
As part of the Underwriting team, Mia will be primarily responsible for managing and developing Sunderland Marine’s insurance business, covering the aquaculture and fishing, coastal and specialist vessel teams.
Mia will also oversee the policy and operational direction of the branch and ensure compliance with Sunderland Marine’s financial services licence and other regulatory requirements.
Prior to joining Sunderland Marine, Mia was national operations manager, and more recently, head of administration & finance at Club Marine.
