Rothbury Insurance Brokers has opened a new office in the heart of Pukekohe after acquiring Counties Manukau Insurance Services, better known as CMIS. 

This new venture represents a strong desire from Rothbury to cater to the greater Franklin area where significant growth is expected over the next 30 years.

Rothbury welcomes on board Kevin Sleyer and Joanne Hunt previously from CMIS and Insite Insurance respectively. 

Locals will continue to receive personal service and quality advice at a local level from Kevin and Joanne who have both lived in the area for years. Also joining them in the new office will be Garth Nielsen, senior commercial broker for Rothbury, who relocated to live in Pokeno three years ago.

Executive general manager – broking branches, Paul Munton says, “Growing the Rothbury business is one of our main strategic goals and we’re really excited to be opening a new office to cater to this growing community.”

“Pukekohe is one of the fastest growing towns in Auckland and the area serves a wide catchment with its own unique issues.

“Having local brokers on the ground who live and work in the community means they really understand what’s important at a local level and can provide an even higher level of service to our clients.”
