Knock, knock .. who's there?
It's me, Kirsty. Nice to meet you.
I’ve been in the insurance game since 1993, kicking off my career at State Insurance in Customer Service. From there, things really took off!
I’ve waded in the waters of Claims Handling, Commercial Account Management, Liability Underwriting, and led a Fire and General team while working for AdviceFirst Ltd.
Professional Risk float my boat!
Having also worked as a Professional Risks Underwriter) what makes me a little different (not weird) is that I have experience on both broking and underwriting financial lines.
I guess you could say I have the inside scoop on what Insurers look for when rating a liability risk.
The following industries and occupations are where I have the most fun:
IT Contractors Liability
We offer Liability package that combines two key coverages: Professional Indemnity to protect your expertise, Public Liability to keep you safe from any public mishaps, plus Statutory Liability to make sure you’re in the clear with any legal requirements
Miscellaneous Professional Independent Contractors
Think Management Consultants, Media, Communications, HR etc. It includes Professional Indemnity for your expert advice, Public Liability for those unexpected accidents, and Statutory Liability to keep you on the right side of the law!
Tech Companies Liability
If you're in the business of making, selling, or servicing computer gear, software, or offering tech advice, this policy is for you.
It’s a two-in-one coverage: one part protects against financial losses from mistakes or oversights in your tech services, while the other handles claims for unexpected personal injury or property damage linked to your work. Plus, it covers those costly defence fees, whether or not the claim is valid.
This is perfect for software developers, hardware manufacturers, and anyone involved in tech services or distribution.
Psst! We can also place cover for your office assets , fleet , corporate travel, management liability and cyber
Recruitment Agency Liability Insurance
Looking to protect your business from claims tied to the recruitment and selection process—whether it’s a permanent hire, a contractor, or a temp? Let’s chat! We offer a tailored recruitment liability policy, perfect for national and international firms (with a NZ parent). Plus, we can cover most of your professional contractors while they’re on assignment (just a heads-up—some roles might need their own separate cover).
Professional Association and Non Profit Organisations:
Liability programmes covering the duties of Board and providing a mutually beneficial insurance programme for the members of the Association
Commercial Property Owners MDBI, Liability and ....
Commercial Property Owners insurance that will soon include Trade Credit for protracted default or liquidation of Tenants (that doesn't require a MD trigger)
i2i is an ambitious, dynamic and highly competitive provider of a range of Professional and Specialist insurances.
As a liability specialist, I don't grab hold of everything that comes my way. Since 2010 I have implemented a number of successful liability schemes backed by the strongest Insurers both here in New Zealand and on the Global Market.
