Connecting at NZUAC Auckland

Our team of Andrew Brooke, Kristen Harris, Ben Greensill and Jayson Diedricks attended the New Zealand Underwriting Agencies Council (NZUAC) Expo, held on Thursday 21st August at the Grand Millennium Auckland.

We were proud to be back as sponsors, once again fuelling the crowd with barista-made coffees served in our eco-friendly takeaway cups. 

Our stand was busy from start to finish. Attendees were quick to grab our giveaways including sugarcane notebooks, Bluetooth speakers, bamboo and wheat straw phone holders, lip balm and air fresheners. The Guess the Jelly Beans in the Bottle competition was fiercely contested, with the winning guess of 330 taking home the McLarens water bottle full of jelly beans and a bottle of champagne.

The Expo also delivered plenty of thought-provoking discussion. The Rapid Roundtables gave a chance to explore everything from emerging legal trends and cyber risks to commercial motor, marine, landlord insurance and more. 

The keynote address came from Tim Grafton, former Chief Executive of the Insurance Council of New Zealand, who shared his insights aligning perfectly with the theme of the Expo, Navigating Soft Markets Together. His perspective resonated strongly with the audience and built on the success of his Christchurch session earlier this year.

The Auckland Expo was a great event, giving us valuable time with brokers and partners. A big thank you to NZUAC for hosting such an engaging event.
