George Ivanov — Your Marsh Insurance Broker
Off the clock, George is equally committed — to family and fitness. He and his partner have a two year old son, and the experience of young parenthood informs his practical outlook on continuity and contingency planning. A keen sportsman, he plays for the New Town White Eagles seniors and keeps fit through regular training, an energetic, team focused approach that he brings to his client relationships.
George Ivanov brings a measured, client centred approach to risk and insurance for Hospitality Tasmania members around Tasmania As a Senior Broker in Marsh’s Tasmanian commercial insurance team, based at the firm’s Hobart office, George specialises in translating the complexities of insurance and risk management into straightforward, practical advice for hotels, restaurants and pubs. He acts as the principal point of contact for clients, coordinating Marsh’s technical expertise — across underwriting, claims and risk consulting — to design policies and service plans that reflect each business’s operational realities. George’s work sits at the intersection of service and commercial insight. He helps hospitality clients navigate issues that matter most to them: business interruption exposures, property and liability cover, supply chain risk and the growing importance of cyber resilience for customer data and booking systems.
CASE STUDY : Delivering tangible savings and broader cover
For Hospitality Tasmania members seeking a practical, commercially minded adviser, George Ivanov offers a steady hand: technically adept, operationally aware and focused on delivering insurance solutions that keep hospitality businesses open, protected and ready to welcome guests. THE RESULT : A new insurance programme that delivered a 44% reduction in the member’s to- tal premium costs while offering improved policy terms and broader cover. The outcome preserved the pub’s operational resilience and delivered im- mediate, measurable value to the business. A Hospitality Tasmania member was introduced to George to review the insurance programme for their local pub. After a thorough assessment of existing policies, exposures and claims his- tory, George identified several opportunities to streamline cover and eliminate gaps. He prepared targeted market submissions highlighting the pub’s risk profile and implemented modest, practi- cal risk control recommendations to make the risk more attractive to insurers.
With an emphasis on clear communication, he partners with operators to identify realistic mitigation strategies and insurance placements that support both day to day operations and long term recovery planning. George combines local market knowledge with access to Marsh’s national and global resources — an advantage for hospitality groups with multi site footprints or seasonal exposure. Colleagues describe him as pragmatic and responsive, focused on preserving continuity of service for clients while helping to control insurance costs and claims outcomes.
