“I am delighted to welcome Simon, Morris, Daniel, Mark and their associates to our growing, global team.”
 

A sound addition to our brokering expertise

Based in Caulfield, Victoria, Sound was founded in 2011 by Simon Feldman and Morris Alessi and has expertise in retail property/casualty insurance broking services. Sound partners with small and mid-market corporate clients in the Melbourne central business district and Victoria from its primary office in Caulfield and a smaller office in the Docklands. 

In line with the Gallagher policy of retaining key talents and the business identity of its acquisitions, Feldman, Alessi, Daniel Winkel, Mark O’Sullivan and their associates will continue to operate from their Caulfield location under the direction of Gallagher Australia Chief Executive, Sarah Lyons.
