Meet Leeanne Hill – Partnerships Manager
In a recent episode of the Insync Podcast, we welcomed back a familiar face — Leeanne Hill, our Partnerships Manager, who last appeared on the show a couple of years ago. A lot has changed since then, but one thing remains the same: Leeanne’s passion for helping businesses understand and access quality insurance solutions through strong, mutually beneficial partnerships.
With nearly two decades of industry experience — spanning commercial insurance, beauty & aesthetics, and private medical — Leeanne brings a wealth of expertise to Insync. She now leads the Partnerships team, shaping how we collaborate with organisations across diverse sectors.
In this episode, she breaks down what Insync Partnerships really mean, how they work, and why they’re so valuable for both businesses and their clients.
What Exactly Are Partnerships at Insync?
The partnerships are all about mutual benefit.
A partnership with Insync is a structured business relationship where we work directly with an organisation — whether that’s a training academy, a trade association, a property firm, or even a utilities provider — to support their customers or members with tailored insurance solutions. In return for the introduction, partners receive a percentage commission.
But the real value goes deeper.
We provide:
- A safe, trusted place for clients to get expert advice
- A fully advised journey, ideal for people new to insurance
- Help identify risks clients may not even realise they have
- Guidance to ensure their policy keeps pace with their business growth
Insurance can feel overwhelming, especially for first-timers. By partnering with a dedicated broker, businesses can offer added value, keeping their clients protected with the right level of cover — not just at the start, but as their needs evolve.
Insurance Needs Change – And So Should Your Cover
Our conversation highlighted how easy it is for businesses to overlook key changes that could impact their insurance. Many simply allow a policy to auto-renew without considering:
- New equipment or machinery
- Increased turnover
- Additional stock or multiple locations
- Updated treatments or services
- Revised health & safety practices
As Leeanne explains, “Your insurance needs to keep up with you.”
If a claim ever arises, the last thing a business wants is to discover they weren’t covered properly. A partnership with Insync can help prevent exactly that.
Who Can Partner With Insync? (Answer: Almost Anyone!)
One of the standout points from this episode is just how flexible the partnership model is.
We work with:
- Beauty & aesthetics academies
- Commercial property specialists
- Training providers and skills academies
- Trade associations
- Accountancy firms
- Real estate companies
- Utility procurement businesses
…and many more.
If your clients or members require insurance, chances are we can build a tailored partnership that fits your organisation.
Why Partnerships Matter
Partnerships aren’t mandatory — but they are powerful.
For many organisations, offering an insurance referral pathway is a value-add that enhances the experience they deliver. For example, a beauty training academy can guide students all the way from their first practical lesson to obtaining the right insurance before they begin treating clients. It’s the extra step that helps people start their careers with confidence.
Leeanne describes it as giving clients peace of mind. Whether it’s a florist who needs to increase stock levels around Valentine’s Day or a new tradesperson unsure of which cover to choose, partnerships help clients understand their risks and stay protected year-round.
What Do Partners Say About Working With Insync?
The feedback speaks for itself. Past partners have called Insync:
- Responsive
- Professional
- A valuable extension of their offering
- Supportive and reassuring for their clients
Students and clients often highlight how “handheld” they feel throughout the process and how much they appreciate finally understanding the insurance they’re purchasing.
For many organisations, partnerships become a smooth, integral part of the services they provide.
Interested in Becoming a Partner?
Getting started is simple. Partnerships begin with a conversation — a chance to explore your business model, understand your clients’ needs, and develop a tailored agreement that works for both sides. Whether you’re a training academy, a commercial business, or an organisation that simply wants to offer trusted insurance support, Leeanne is ready to help.
