CGU Executive Manager Broker Relationships Pegah Vaghaye said:  

“We know brokers are playing an increasingly important role as trusted advisors, supporting their customers in understanding their specific risk environment amid a changing landscape. We hope that STRIVE 3.0 is welcomed by our broker network, as a complimentary guide to help support those vital conversations.” 

The STRIVE reporting series underpins CGU’s ambition to be the leading intermediated insurance brand within Australia. In line with that ambition and further elevating its brand, CGU has recently partnered with the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), sponsoring its 2025 Melbourne Winter Masterpieces French Impressionism exhibition. 

This rare event offers Australians the opportunity to experience one of the largest and most significant collections of French Impressionism ever to visit the country, exclusively on loan from the Museum of Fine Arts renowned collection in Boston.
