BLACKSTONE INSURANCE BROKERS
About Blackstone Insurance Brokers
A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO PROTECTION
Insurance Advice Built on Experience, Relationships and Accountability
Blackstone Insurance Brokers was founded to provide commercial clients with a more proactive and accountable approach to insurance.
Too often, businesses receive little more than an annual renewal and a policy schedule. At Blackstone, we believe insurance should be actively managed throughout the year, not simply renewed when it falls due. Effective insurance advice requires an understanding of your business, your risks, and the challenges that can emerge as your operations grow and change.
Our approach is built on long term relationships, direct communication, and practical advice. We work closely with business owners and decision makers to ensure insurance programs remain aligned with their operations, assets, contractual obligations, and future goals.
Whether managing complex risks, reviewing existing arrangements, or supporting clients through claims, our focus remains the same: providing clear advice, strong advocacy, and confidence that your business is properly protected.
YOUR TRUSTED INSURANCE ADVISER
Meet Kelly Townley
After more than 20 years in the insurance industry, I founded Blackstone Insurance Brokers with a simple goal: to provide clients with the level of service, accountability, and strategic advice that I believe every business deserves.
My career has given me a unique perspective, having worked across all three sides of the insurance industry as a broker, an underwriter, and on the client side. This experience has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of how insurance programs are structured, assessed, negotiated, and ultimately relied upon when businesses need them most.
Throughout my career, I have worked with global brokerages and advised businesses across a diverse range of industries on complex insurance and risk management matters. During that time, I saw many organisations receiving limited engagement outside of renewal periods, with insufficient attention given to changing business risks and exposures.
Blackstone was established to provide a different experience. My clients deal directly with an experienced broker who takes the time to understand their business, identify emerging risks, and deliver practical recommendations that support informed decision making.
Today, I work closely with clients to provide structured insurance oversight, disciplined renewal strategies, proactive market reviews, and strong insurer negotiations. Through regular engagement, on-site risk reviews, and commercially focused advice, I help businesses ensure their insurance programs continue to support their operations and long term objectives.
