"These are capable, energetic young agents," he said. "They are passionate about what they do.
"We have the ability to naturally feed cattle from east to west, south to north through the use of our own contacts.
"We are all mates. We enjoy a beer and at the business end there is a high-level of trust.
"We have the same ideals; the same morals."
Rather than APLG being a network of agencies Mr Birch said the new selling force would stand alone under their brand.
"We have been approached by other outside agencies to join us," Mr Birch said. "There will be further discussion.
"We are looking to include businesses with similar synergies who can bring young, vibrant and energetic people to the table."
