Shepherd Compello

I am thrilled to announce after patiently waiting for 6 months as her notice period ran its course, that Anna Curtis has officially joined Shepherd Compello's North American Commercial Trucking team! This is a milestone moment for us. Anna brings with her over 10 years of deep expertise in US commercial trucking exactly the experience we've been seeking and were happy to wait for. Not only do we now have the technology to push the London commercial trucking market into the the post-digital age, but we also have the talent to accelerate this transformation, as well as the in house facilities to underwrite on. I have had the privilege of working with Anna at three companies now, and I’m beyond excited she decided to team up with me once again. Her wealth of knowledge and drive are going to elevate our offering in ways we’ve only imagined until now. Allowing Tina Khoda & I to focus on the big picture. To Our Agents: Thank you for an incredible 2024. Your support, feedback, and partnership have been instrumental in getting us to where we are today. To Shepherd Compello thank you for the mentorship and continued investment in what maters Tech & people. It's the most diverse company I have ever worked for and far from the normal white stale and male eco system London insurers are known for. To Yana Dzhimbova & Amit Bhudia thank you for the support over the past months you both have shown incredible grit and ability. To PolicyFly thank you for creating a truly impressive bit of Fintech. For those who haven’t yet partnered with us yet, we will be closing off new TOBAs at the end of Q1 2025 just in time for the launch of our game changing NTL, TGL, and Excess MTC portal. This new addition will complement our already impressive offering, giving you the ability to receive 3 simultaneous quotes from 3 separate markets for APD, Primary MTC, Excess MTC as well as NTL, and TGL all on one streamlined portal powered by PolicyFly’s cutting-edge technology. And it doesn’t stop there! Imagine this simply forwarding an email and letting our intelligent ingestion solution handle the heavy lifting. No more double entry of data. No more inaccuracies with VIN numbers. This is efficiency redefined! Allowing you & us to focus on what we are paid for production and delivering exceptional service to our clients the end user of the product we sell. We’re leaving behind the days of overpaid data-entry providers and moving into an era of streamlined, accurate, and profitable operations. 2025 is shaping up to be a transformative year not just for us but for the entire commercial trucking market. To all our agents, we couldn’t have done this without you. To those considering working with us, now’s the time to get on board. Stay tuned there’s more to come as we push boundaries and launch even more exciting products later this year! Canada we are on our way! Here’s to a successful 2025 together!

With compliance and set up costs on the rise, how did you navigate these challenges when starting your own brokerage, and how do you see these factors affecting new start-ups today? Given that the market has changed significantly since you started, how is Shepherd Compello working to ensure that new start ups have the same opportunities to succeed, despite the challenges that exist today?
