Helm Insurance Services is a marine insurance adviser established in 2018 by Damian Pugh to provide individual advice to boaties. Helm acts for the policyholder, not the Insurer. We assist our clients in identifying the best options available and pitfalls to avoid when it comes to marine insurance.
In July 2020, Shelly Aisthorpe came onboard bringing with her 20+ years experience in the industry and in March 2023 Matt Young joined the crew bringing with him 20+ years’ experience in general, marine and loss adjusting.
Both Shelly & Matt strengthen our ability to find the right policy that meets your individual needs.
“I was fortunate enough to start boating at an early age and, like many other boaters, it became a life-long passion and career,” Damian says.
Whilst Helm’s speciality is marine insurance, Damian, Shelly and the team can provide advice on other classes of business. Our network of insurance providers gives us the ability to pick and choose what policies are best suited to any particular client.
