About Us

Wade Dowden

Managing Director

Since 2010, I’ve been dedicated to helping businesses protect what matters most through tailored insurance solutions. Over the years, I’ve built a reputation for taking the time to really understand each client’s unique circumstances, making sure the right strategies are in place to safeguard their people, assets, and operations. I’ve never believed insurance should be a one-size-fits-all product—it’s about working closely with each client to design cover that genuinely supports their long-term success.

Before I moved into the insurance industry, I built my career in the fast-paced world of hospitality. I experienced first-hand the pressures and demands business owners face, particularly in industries where precision and consistency are critical. That experience gave me a deep understanding of what business owners require when it comes to risk management and protection—knowledge I continue to apply today when shaping strategies for my clients.

Now, as Managing Director of Fortify Insurance Brokers, I combine my industry expertise with a highly personal approach. My focus has always been on building relationships, not just policies, and my commitment is to give every client the confidence and peace of mind they need to focus on growing their business.

A Personal Approach to Professional Risk

At Fortify Insurance Brokers, we believe insurance is more than just a policy — it’s a partnership. We work closely with businesses across hospitality, construction, cyber security, manufacturing, logistics, and other high-risk sectors to protect what matters most.

Our advice is always tailored, strategic, and grounded in a deep understanding of your operations and industry.

We don’t just arrange cover. We become part of your business team – helping you identify risks, meet compliance obligations, and recover quickly when challenges arise. Our clients trust us because we take the time to listen, explain, and advocate on their behalf — whether it’s placing insurance or managing a complex claim.

Through strong insurer relationships and broad market access, we can deliver the right solutions with a highly personalised and responsive service.

Professional, proactive, and personally invested —

that’s the Fortify difference.
