TBV and Surewise Extend Partnership

Media Release - Monday February 1

Thoroughbred Breeders Victoria (TBV) is pleased to announce that Surewise, previously known as Newmarket Grandwest, who have been valuable sponsors for a considerable amount of time, has re-signed a formal partnership agreement with TBV for another two years. 

Driven by the vision of Peter Lewis and Lesley Grech, Surewise was originally established in 1993 and offers tailored insurance solutions for the thoroughbred industry.

While the organisation has played a significant role in Victoria since its inception, the launch of the Newmarket Gold Liability product in 2008 was not only a coup for breeders, but also solidified their stance as a leading breeding industry insurance provider.

Brad Tindall, Account Director at Newmarket Grandwest, explains that the Newmarket Gold Liability product fills a niche in the insurance market, particularly by meeting the needs of stud farms and agistment properties.

“Newmarket Gold Liability provides specialist cover for the infrastructure and operations of stud farms, breeding farms, broodmare farms, breaking and pre-training facilities and all the activities which support them,” Tindall explained.

“This unique insurance offering provides Public and Product Liability cover with high care, custody and control limits which are unmatched in the marketplace.”

“The product is industry recommended and utilised by many of the pre-eminent studs in the Victorian Thoroughbred industry,” he said.

TBV Executive Officer, Charmein Bukovec is delighted to have Surewise continue to support the industry. 

“Surewise have been great supporters of the Victorian industry and our long-standing partnership is a testament to that. They are the leading breeding insurance industry provider for the industry and our Victorian breeders find them particularly valuable for their businesses,” Charmein Bukovec commented.

Newmarket Insurance Brokers underwent a merger with Grandwest in 2014, and then rebranded to Surewise in 2019, the organisation continues to offer the same critical services to stud farms and agistment operations. 

The organisation remains strongly committed to the success of the Victorian breeding industry, a position that is made clear by their long-standing sponsorship of Thoroughbred Breeders Victoria.

This sponsorship reflects Newmarket founder, Peter Lewis’, desire to make a valuable contribution to ensure the Victorian breeding industry continues to thrive.

“Peter had a large footprint with a lot of Victorian breeders, and our association with TBV is a nice way to give back and support the industry,” Tindall said.
