ProTrades Insurance

ProTrades Insurance is a trading name of SK Insurance Brokers Pty Ltd as trustee for the SK Insurance Brokers Trust. Shivonne Martin is the director and senior broker behind ProTrades, with over 18 years specialising in insurance for Australian trade businesses. She is a NIBA Qualified Authorised Representative. Adam Groom is the General Manager.

ProTrades Insurance is part of repX, which is part of the Steadfast Group, and is a recognised TradieWives Accredited Directory Partner. It supports local sport, including Mornington Golf Club, and has sorted cover for over 3,000 Aussie tradies. It provides Australia-wide support. ProTrades arranges public liability, tools and equipment, commercial motor, plant and machinery, contract works and professional indemnity cover.

Trade businesses of various kinds, from electricians and plumbers to carpenters, feature among the accounts left by clients, and a strong recurring theme is the speed with which public liability and tools cover was arranged. Customers in several reviews describe quotes being presented clearly and options walked through so the right level of protection could be chosen without overcomplicating matters. The responsiveness of Shivonne and Adam comes up often, credited with answering questions promptly, returning calls and guiding clients through claims so the process felt stress-free.

Several accounts note competitive pricing, including instances where existing policies were uplifted for less, and first-time buyers of liability insurance describe receiving immediate help when quotes were hard to source elsewhere. Communication before and after the arrangement is praised, with queries handled without delay and updates provided along the way. Longer-standing clients value dealing with a team that understands small business needs, and the professional, friendly manner combined with fast turnaround is noted as a reason customers return and refer others, with one recent claim singled out for being made straightforward.
