New Zealand’s Rothbury Insurance Brokers has opened a new Greymouth office and appointed Kirstie Barlow to look after west coast clients with the support of the team in Nelson.

The new office will service the Buller, Grey and Westland communities.

“We know our clients like doing business locally and we’re committed to giving them the personal service and quality advice they deserve,” MD Roger Abel said.

Rothbury, a member of The Steadfast Group, is New Zealand’s third-largest broking group with 21 locations nationwide and 47,000 clients, serviced by 332 staff.

The company also owns underwriting agencies, including Classic Cover, Covi Insurance, Go Cover Car Insurance and the Southern Pacific Underwriting Agency.
