A personal approach with a difference

Exceptional Service

We put our customers at the centre of everything we do and pride ourselves on working hard to keep you informed, provide support and deliver on our promises.

Personal approach

We take insurance personally, so when you have a question or need advice, you’ll speak with your account manager (who knows you by name), and never a call centre. 

Locally-owned and local

Because we know it's essential to be at the heart of the community we serve, our teams are based in our offices in both Matamata and Morrinsville.

Flexible

Being local means that we are always on hand to help. We can come to you or you can come to us, whatever is easiest for you.

Trusted

We’ve been around a while, so you will benefit from our 50 years’ experience in the insurance industry. We also have long-standing, trusted relationships with over 25 insurance companies.

Efficient

When it's time to make a claim, we'll work with you and your insurer to keep the process quick and straightforward – saving you time and helping to achieve the best possible outcome.
