Rankin Ellison were excited to celebrate the launch of Hunter Women In Insurance in Newcastle on Friday. This association aims to make networking and educational opportunities more accessible to people based in the Hunter, and we are proud that two of our Directors Erin Giles and Felicity Robbs are committee members who helped bring this association to life. Thank you to all of our colleagues and clients for turning up for such an important event. We were also humbled that some of our Sydney clients travelled north to join us for this event. The future of insurance in the Hunter is bright 🌟
