The potentially record-breaking flood event in Auckland is the main topic of discussion on the first Insurance News podcast of the year.

High hopes that 2023 might be less damaging in terms of catastrophes have already been dashed, with the Auckland event already leading to thousands of claims.

This week’s edition of INsight, hosted by Insurance News MD Andrew Silcox, features the observations of Chairman Terry McMullan, Managing Editor John Deex, Deputy Editor Wendy Pugh, and Senior Journalist Miranda Maxwell.

Other topics discussed by the panel include the insurance industry recruitment merry-go-round, hybrid working, and the January reinsurance renewals.
