Sheryll Todd
Account Director, Consolidated Insurance Brokers
Sheryll has worked with transport businesses from owner-operators to fleets of more than 300 prime movers. Get advice that keeps pace with your trucks, machinery and growing business.
Sheryll Todd is an Account Director at Consolidated Insurance Brokers in New Farm, Brisbane. She works with transport operators, heavy motor fleets, earthmoving businesses and other plant-intensive operations to protect the vehicles, equipment and people their work depends on.
Sheryll started in insurance in 2000, selling accident insurance and moving into territory management early in her career. In 2004 she moved into commercial insurance, spending four years with Australian Income Insurance Solutions, the business that later became Consolidated Insurance Brokers. She joined the firm in March 2010 and has been there since.
Sheryll holds a Diploma of Insurance Broking and has built her working life around transport and heavy motor risk: trucks and prime movers, motor fleets, earthmoving and plant, and the liability that sits behind moving other people's goods.
Her areas of experience include transport and heavy motor insurance, motor fleet insurance, earthmoving and plant insurance, marine cargo and marine carriers insurance, and commercial building insurance for business and property owners.
Transport and Heavy Motor
Transport is where Sheryll is strongest. Her clients often carry cover across many vehicles, pieces of equipment and liability exposures at once, and she starts by understanding how the business actually runs before she looks at how the policies are put together.
That work covers heavy motor, trucks and prime movers, motor fleets, transport operators' liability, and marine cargo and marine carriers insurance.
She also works on earthmoving and plant insurance, including site-preparation risks and the downtime a business faces when a machine it depends on is out of action, and on management liability for transport businesses.
How Insurance Changes as a Transport Business Grows
Sheryll has worked with transport clients who grew from one-person operations into businesses running more than 300 prime movers. Watching that happen has taught her how much changes on the way.
Fleets grow, contracts get bigger, staff numbers rise, assets multiply and responsibilities widen. Insurance that suited the business a few years ago can quietly stop matching the operation it is meant to protect.
That is why Sheryll treats a renewal as a conversation about the business rather than a paperwork exercise, and why she asks what has changed before she looks at what the policy says.
Sheryll and Her Clients
Sheryll puts relationships first. Her job is not to process insurance transactions; it is to understand what matters to the client, make them feel heard, and help give them confidence that their risks have been thought about properly.
Her broader business experience means long-term clients often use her as a sounding board. Insurance has to keep pace with the operation, not sit frozen at the size the business used to be.
A team behind her handles the processing and workflow for her portfolio, which keeps Sheryll on client relationships, risk conversations and the decisions that need an experienced broker's attention.

Sheryll has been looking after all our insurance needs for a number of years now - she and her team always provide a thorough analysis of the options, quick responses and the best outcome for our properties, cars etc - they are experts at what they do, and we always feel well informed and well protected!
Sheryll Todd at Consolidated Insurance Brokers has managed the Landlord's insurance on my property since 2001. During that time, she has ensured that my property held the most appropriate amount of cover, but was also there to step in and coordinate claims when the house was damaged in a cyclone, and most recently when an electric scooter caught fire and decimated the interior of the entire house. Sheryll has gone above and beyond to ensure that I was paying the most competitive premium, and has been there multiple times to process claims. 5 star service the whole way...
Thank you so much Sheryll Todd for your prompt attention to our recent request for insurance on our holiday rental. You were so friendly and professional in providing the insurance we needed. We had hit a brick wall dealing with others and it was an absolute joy to deal with you. We highly recommend Sheryll for getting you the best deal, while offering expert help and options suited to your requirements.
Really personal service with great information and comparative pricing but then there’s nothing like a great broker working for you when something doesn’t quite go right. I would highly recommend their experience and attention when required
