James Still named 2025 NIBA Young Broker of the Year

By  Vero Insurance

Congratulations to James Still of Still Insured Pty Ltd, who has been named the winner of the Vero‑sponsored national Young Broker of the Year Award, announced at the 2025 NIBA Convention on the Gold Coast.

Chosen from a highly competitive field of five finalists, James stood out for his leadership, client advocacy and deep commitment to community - qualities reflected in his role as Director & Principal Broker and in his sustained involvement in local initiatives. 

Originally on track to become a veterinarian, James stepped away from his studies to help in the family insurance business – a move that sparked a career defined by technical acumen paired with genuine care for his clients and his community.

In congratulating James, Anthony Pagano, Vero’s Head of Distribution, said: “For 36 years, we’ve been proud to support emerging talent through this award. James exemplifies the hallmarks that define the broking profession. Congratulations to James on being named the 2025 Young Broker of the Year.” 

As the national winner, James will receive a tailored learning and development experience valued at up to $10,000, courtesy of Vero, and join the Vero Young Brokers Alumni program for ongoing professional growth and industry connections.
