Rothbury says it will continue to work on expanding its footprint in 2018 through its merger and acquisition activity and organic growth.
The broker firm currently has offices in 20 locations around the country and over 260 employees nationwide. It is the largest majority New Zealand-owned general insurance brokerage in the country and the fourth-largest broking firm.
The plan to expand its reach is a key focus and part of its growth strategy.
“2018 will be an active year for us,” says Roger Abel, managing director.
“Over the last year we’ve achieved significant growth and had our best new business year ever. We’re steadily growing our client base and that looks set to continue in 2018.
“Rothbury prides itself on being authentic in its mission to deliver a high level of service to clients. We want to be close to our clients and expansion is a part of that journey. We’re always looking for new opportunities to expand the Rothbury business with like-minded business owners.”
He said becoming part of Rothbury gave businesses the ability to leverage from the group’s scale across the country and its resources and support.
The group also owns four underwriting agencies which enables it to develop its own niche products – notably Covi for its motor caravan cover.
