Posted on: Friday, 18th o March 2011

P.I. Direct is pleased to announce that we have purchased an interest in Professional Risk Placements Pty Ltd (PRP) in Perth.

Work Efficiency Project
Posted on: Thursday, 6th o January 2011

PI Direct has always been proud of the service we have given our clients and this has been a valuable attribute to our brand. However we recognise that our service standards have been compromised over the past few months as a result of the significant increase in opportunities that we are being asked to quote. We have added to our human resources as described in the previous update to assist with this increased workload but we are also taking the opportunity to examine our operations and to try and align our service offerings to the standards required by our clients by eliminating wasteful inefficiencies. We have engaged the services of an external consulting firm to examine the way in which we conduct our business and to drive best practice improvements across all levels of our operations. We are confident that our clients and underwriting partners will see a marked improvement in response times as a result of these initiatives, which will be in place in the first half of 2011.
Thank you for your patience and understanding and we apologise for any frustration and inconvenience that may have been caused in the past months as we have struggled to absorb the extra demands on our resources.

Posted on: Thursday, 6th o January 2011

PI Direct is delighted to advise that we have added a couple of additional members to our team at the end of 2010.
