HOW WE WORK
Working together to assess your risk
Your livelihood and protecting what matters most is our responsibility and we take that very seriously. It’s our job to ensure you have scaled your insurance protection as your business and life grows accordingly. We talk with you to understand your needs, and then through a combination of mitigation, management and prudent covers, we deliver a sustainable insurance package that best meets your business or personal insurance needs. Our focus is to position you to survive any insurable event.
Our disciplines and standards
Our operating processes and disciplines are part hard-learned lessons and part pure, professional performance. The end result: a short list of non-negotiables that drive our standards. This list met or exceeded regulated requirements well before they were introduced by The Insurance Council of New Zealand (ICNZ).
How do we work?
- A formal ‘Discovery & Declaration’ process: in order to protect your interests,we recommend that every element of risk is examined.
- A formal recommendation that informs and advises: presenting you with your options explained is a critical step on our duty of care and responsibility.
- A proposal to market (where needed): this ensures you get what you need at a price that reflects your risk attractiveness.
- A faultless execution of the programme: this insurance programme incorporates at least annual formal reviews.
Regardless of regulation or legislation, a comprehensive and professional performance is the bare minimum in today’s business environment.
The role of a broker
Our insurance brokers act as a link between you and the insurance provider and they act on your behalf. They identify your requirements and when needed they search the market to find a product that best suits your needs. With a broker you get the best advice for you, your family, your lifestyle and your business.
We've put together some information about what a broker does and how they work with you to find insurance solutions. We explain the difference between insurance agents and brokers, who gets paid and who helps at claim time.
At Crombie Lockwood, our brokers are focused on positioning you to survive any insurable event.
