NZI is proud to support the Kiwi Art Trail 2024/25.  This event not only showcases creativity through 20 kiwi sculptures but also supports a cause close to our hearts – protecting the future of our native bird. Each sculpture has been transformed into a unique piece of art by New Zealand artists. Currently nesting in Tauranga, the whole flock will be winging its way to Napier and Whangārei before finally landing in Auckland.  Come along and spot the NZI sponsored kiwi, Buzzy Kiwi, created by artist collaboration Weston Frizzell.  Partnering with the Kiwi Art Trail is Gallagher Insurance New Zealand and Save the Kiwi. After the tour, these works of art will be auctioned, with all proceeds going towards kiwi conservation.  www.kiwiarttrail.nz #kiwiarttrail #savethekiwi #NZI

Over 90 truckies took the opportunity for a rest break at the NZI Truckie Rest Zone in Glasnevin on Wednesday. Everyone was enjoying the Canterbury sun and our NZI Fleet Risk Management team were connecting with drivers about ways to manage fatigue and stay safe on the road. As always, the Hato Hone St John team were in support and provided free health checks to over 40 truckies.  A big thank you to the Fern Energy crew who supported with their expert BBQ skills.  The next NZI Truckie Rest Zone is 11 December at the Rakaia Commercial Vehicle Safety Centre SH1 Southbound, North Rakaia Road, 9:30 am - 2:00 pm.   #NZIFleetFIt #NZI #ItsLikeInsuranceThatWorksBeforeACrash 

We’ve just released the sixth issue of our Wild Weather Tracker which analyses insurance claims data to help you prepare and protect yourself from wild weather.   During autumn and winter, significant storms made up 78% of all natural hazard event claims we received. While some natural hazard events pertain to one region, the majority of the natural hazard events, such as strong winds, had a widespread impact on the country.   Download our tracker at https://lnkd.in/gVDKgKP3 to read more interesting insights and ways you can prepare for and protect yourself from wild weather.

Remind your drivers to keep an eye out for the NZI Truckie Rest Zone in Glasnevin on Wed 16 Oct. Heavy vehicle drivers can pull their rigs in, enjoy some complimentary refreshments, get a health check, and have a chat to our NZI Fleet Fit experts about driver fatigue and ways to keep themselves safe and well. Held with support from the NZ Police Commercial Vehicle Safety Team and Hato Hone St John. Big shout out to Fern Energy for providing their awesome BBQ! Fatigue is a major cause of road accidents, and we want to support your drivers to stay safe on the roads. So let your team know to come along to refresh and recover for the next leg of their journey, we would love to see them (and you) there!   More details https://lnkd.in/gRJ8vXBU

As part of our Humans of NZI series, we are sharing Lisa’s interesting journey from Art Student to National Broker Partner.

NZI is a relationship business and working closely with our broker partners to provide expert advice to support our customers is core to what we do. In the past few months our team has attended a number of broker conferences, each unique but all focused on insurance education, delivering value to customers and connecting with partners to drive new thinking. NZI joined important discussions and shared our insights on climate change, assurance offerings and the future of claims. This year we created the NZI General Store, showcasing customer products and enabling great conversations with broker partners, all while supporting New Zealand business. Thanks to all our important partners across the motu for the mahi and connection.
