St Leonards, NSW – JL Insurance Brokers’ Jade Lyons has been included in Insurance Business magazine’s annual Young Guns report, sponsored by Blake Oliver Consulting. This prestigious list salutes the insurance industry’s young men and women who are delivering stellar results, leading by example, and going above and beyond for clients and colleagues alike.
“A fantastic female figure for the industry” is how a peer describes Jade Lyons – and she has certainly forged an exemplary path for women to follow. After spending 26 months working as an authorised representative under Oracle Group Insurance Brokers, Lyons is excited to be launching her own brokerage, JL Insurance Brokers.
Starting your own brokerage is no mean feat, especially after a year like 2020, and Lyons is justifiably proud. It’s a huge personal achievement – and also an important signpost for others.
“Opening up our first office in West Perth was such an exciting time; I’m so glad I had the confidence and perseverance to back myself and take the risk,” she says. “In order to facilitate professional growth for females in insurance, it is important we see strong females in leadership roles. My goal is to become a mentor to people wanting to enter the insurance industry. Additionally, I would like to continue to promote work-life balance for like-minded women and to create opportunities and development for my team.”
“If the 2021 Insurance Business Young Guns are anything to go by, the insurance sector is in great hands. These 41 rising superstars – all age 35 and younger – were nominated by their colleagues, managers and mentors for demonstrating excellence in the field,” says the Insurance Business team. “The many detailed submissions IB received made it clear that these young practitioners are not simply consummate professionals with impeccable technical expertise. They go above and beyond in every sense. In an increasingly complex and competitive sector, they have managed to lead, innovate, mentor their colleagues, build relationships, develop professionally, place their clients’ needs front and centre, contribute to the wider industry and give back to the community.”
