Home / Shane Moore Shane Moore I’m Shane, the founder and managing director of Trade Risk. I started Trade Risk in 2010 as a one-man-band and have built it into an award-winning operation with thousands of clients throughout Australia. I’m married with three young children and my passions outside of family and business include cars and, oddly, number plates… After a decade in financial services I saw a gap for good quality insurance advice for tradies, and importantly, delivered in a way that suited the tradie rather than the broker or adviser. That’s why we’re big on electronic communication such as phone and email, and why so many tradies comment on how easy to deal with we are. I’ve been lucky to pick up a few personal accolades along the way, which are as much about my team as they are about me: Innovator of the Year – 2020 Elite Brokers – 2015, 2016, 2017 & 2018. Insurance Young Guns – 2014 The Hot List – 2014 In The Press Thanks to the success of Trade Risk I’ve been quoted in various publications regarding insurance and the trades: 18/04/2020 – COVID-19 will “force” brokers to utilise tech 07/12/2019 – Daily Telegraph – Tradies Enjoying Big Bucks 26/09/2017 – Trade Risk up for national award 19/04/2017 – NIBA members on annual list for best insurance brokers 07/12/2015 – Brokerage Trade Risk announces latest partnership 01/10/2013 – Broker reveals plans to boost client base 14/08/2013 – No risk, no gain 07/08/2013 – Why SMEs must disclose risk 01/07/2013 – Trade Risk secures Moneypot deal 27/06/2013 – Broker and planner form one-stop shop for tradies 28/06/2013 – Planner merges with GI brokers to tackle the tradies 21/02/2013 – Brokers need to face online challenge by going online too I even used to write about the industry for Adviser Voice. You can check out some of my articles here. I’ve managed to get my mug on TV a few times, but to speak about my other odd passion, number plates… I was interviewed on The Project about a number plate auction, and also featured in a story on ABC News regarding a similar topic. I also managed to get the Trade Risk ute on the ABC news piece, which was a nice bonus! In print, I’ve been quoted in a few different publications including the Australian Financial Review, Sydney Morning Herald, Domain and Brisbane Times talking about, you guessed it… number plates! What does that have to do with trade insurance? Nothing of course, but no one has been willing to put me on TV to talk about insurance unfortunately! I love writing about insurance and other tradie related topics, and much of the content on our website has been written by me. You can find me on LinkedIn and Flying Solo.
