MBM Insurance Solutions

What MBM Insurance Solutions does

MBM Insurance Solutions is a privately held, family-operated insurance brokerage based in Queensland, Australia, founded in 2012 under the legal entity Manton Group Pty Ltd. The firm specializes exclusively in insurance products for the Australian transport industry, offering a dual portfolio that spans commercial transport and business coverage (Heavy Motor for vehicles over 5 tonnes GVM, Fleet Motor for 15+ vehicle fleets, Commercial Motor under 5 tonnes, Marine Cargo, Plant & Equipment, Farm Insurance, Public Liability, and Business Insurance) alongside personal lines (Car, Home & Contents, Landlord, Caravan & Trailer, Boat, and Travel). The value proposition is built on domain specialization in trucking risk and long-term adviser relationships rather than proprietary technology.

The business operates as an authorised representative of Resilium Insurance Broking Pty Ltd (AFS Licence No. 460382), which provides access to a panel of insurers and the regulatory framework required to broker insurance in Australia. Revenue is generated through brokerage commissions on placed policies, with pricing determined case-by-case via a quote request workflow that funnels through phone, email, and a website form before being matched by advisers to insurer offerings. There is no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML tooling, and no disclosed digital underwriting capability; the entire service model is human-adviser-led.

The five-person team is led by Director Merry Manton (30+ years of transport industry experience) alongside Directors Bill, Holly, and Emma Manton and Assistant Adviser Amy McCormick, suggesting a tightly held family operation. Go-to-market relies on client referrals, industry association partnerships (Australian Trucking Association, Transport Women Australia, Long Range Trucking Association Queensland), and a modest digital footprint via the company website and social channels. The customer base consists of SMB and micro-business heavy haulage, tilt-tray, fleet, and owner-operator clients across Australia, with no disclosed enterprise or institutional accounts.

Direct peers

• Resilium Insurance Broking: The underlying AFSL holder and broker network for which MBM operates as an authorised representative. Resilium provides panel access to insurers and competes in adjacent transport and commercial brokerage segments across Australia.
• Insurance House (AUB Group subsidiary): Australian broker network member with comparable specialisation in commercial motor, fleet, and transport insurance. Competes in the same SMB channel with similar reliance on adviser relationships and referral-based acquisition.
• EBM Insurance Brokers: Specialist Australian insurance broker with strong transport and commercial vehicle focus. Comparable in scale, regional orientation, and product mix (commercial motor, fleet, cargo, liability).
• Honan Insurance Group: Australian mid-market insurance broker with comparable specialisation in commercial transport, fleet, and business insurance. Similar in size, channel mix (referral-led, relationship-driven), and target customer profile (SMB transport operators).
• BJS Insurance Group: Australian insurance brokerage serving transport, truck, and commercial clients with similar broker-led, advisory-driven models. Competes for the same SMB transport segment with comparable reliance on personal relationships and industry specialisation.
• Capital Insurance Brokers: Australian specialist broker serving commercial transport, earthmoving, and plant & equipment insurance markets. Highly comparable product mix and customer profile, with overlap in the Plant & Equipment and heavy motor segments MBM targets.

Emerging players

• Connect Insurance Brokers: Australian broker with growing focus on transport and commercial vehicle insurance for SMB and owner-operator clients. Comparable positioning to MBM with potentially stronger digital engagement and an emerging challenger in the same vertical.

Broad incumbents

• Aon Australia: Global insurance broker with a substantial Australian commercial transport practice. Represents the upper end of competition — Aon has scale, panel leverage, and digital tooling that MBM lacks but is less specialised in the SMB owner-operator and regional haulage niches MBM serves.
• NTI (National Transport Insurance): Australia's leading specialist truck and transport insurer, directly competing for the same heavy haulage and fleet customers MBM serves. NTI is an underwriter rather than a broker, making it both a panel partner and the dominant incumbent competitor in Australian transport insurance.
• Marsh Australia: Major global broker with a meaningful Australian transport and logistics practice. Competes for larger fleet and commercial accounts in the same product categories (commercial auto, cargo, liability) but does not specialise in the owner-operator micro-segment.
