So I had Debbie Blanco help me, let me tell you my story- I said what I needed and she did it up - I then asked for a million revisions (I swear poor Debbie had such a run around with me) but she happily did every alteration I asked for and I felt comfortable to ask for them too! Long story short I went with what Debbie had initially proposed! She’s very thorough and well experienced but customer service is top notch and made me feel reassured and comfortable the entire time

Based at our Brisbane office.
Debbie Blanco is an Account Manager at Consolidated Insurance Brokers in New Farm, and one of the longest-standing client-facing brokers in the business.
Her strength is breadth. Debbie helps clients with everything from a single motor policy through to commercial motor fleets, business insurance, commercial property and liability programmes, and she applies the same care to the small policy as to the complex one.
She joined Australian Income Insurance Solutions in 2008, the business that became Consolidated Insurance Brokers, and has been with the firm ever since.
Debbie is known for explaining insurance in a way that makes sense, for following up quickly, and for staying with a problem until the client has a practical way forward.
What You Tell the Insurer at the Start Decides the Claim at the End
The lesson Debbie draws most often from years of client work is that the quality of an insurance outcome usually depends on the quality of the information given at the beginning.
So she is deliberate about making sure an insurer understands what a client actually does. That can mean the real business activities rather than the ones on the registration, whether there is asbestos on site, driving history, work carried out away from the usual premises, business run from home, and the exact nature of higher-risk work such as earthmoving, underpinning or piling.
None of this is paperwork for its own sake. It is the difference between a policy that responds and a policy an insurer can question.
Two Assumptions Worth Testing
Debbie regularly finds clients holding two reasonable-sounding beliefs that a policy does not share.
The first is that machinery breakdown cover stands in for maintenance. It generally does not, and wear and tear is usually not turned into an insured event by having the cover.
The second is that a sum insured set some years ago is still the right number. Building and asset values need revisiting, or a client can be materially underinsured without anything visibly changing.
How Debbie Works With Clients
Debbie’s service style is built on being reachable and following through, including outside ordinary hours when a client genuinely needs help.
At Consolidated Insurance Brokers she works with three colleagues across her client portfolio. That team structure is what lets her keep the personal attention she values while carrying a broad and sometimes complex book.
She does not assume a client should already know insurance terminology. Her job is to ask the right questions, explain the differences that matter, and make the decision easier to make.

Debbie was fantastic….quickly got back to me and explained the policy simply.
It was a pleasure dealing with Debbie for my public liability insurance. Prompt service specific to my individual requirements. I highly recommend CIB.
Debbie Blanco was great to deal with and found insurance for me where other brokers could not.
Highly recommend Debbie! She made the process incredibly easy and saved me heaps on my insurance.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I wish I could give Deb 100 five-star reviews! Her customer service is nothing short of incredible. I originally contacted Deb for just one insurance policy, but after dealing with her and experiencing the level of service she provides, I made the decision to move all six of my existing policies from another broker over to her. She made the entire process incredibly easy, seamless and stress-free. It’s so refreshing to deal with someone who genuinely goes above and beyond for their clients. Thank you so much, Deb. I couldn’t recommend you highly enough! ⭐️ Nik x
