Yesterday morning our team came together for a Pink Ribbon Breakfast Morning Tea, and thanks to the generosity of our amazing team we surpassed our $500 goal for this incredibly important cause.

Breast cancer continues to impact thousands of Kiwi families every year. It’s frightening to think that around 10 women are diagnosed every day, and more than 650 people lose their lives annually.

At Penberthy, we believe it’s important to sometimes down tools and take a moment for causes that touch so many lives. Causes that affect families, friends, workmates and communities all around us. Yesterday was about It was about showing support, creating conversation, and standing alongside, in some small way, the many Kiwi women affected.

A huge congratulations as well to Kendall, who was the lucky winner of our fundraiser hamper draw!

For many businesses, insurance renewals can become a “set and forget” exercise. The policy rolls over, premiums are paid, and everyone moves on to the next priority.

But the market is shifting fast.

Construction costs are climbing. Freight delays are impacting replacement timeframes. Fuel surcharges are flowing into repair and rebuild costs. And, worryingly, sums insured that were accurate may no longer reflect today’s realities.

And if it’s been a while since your last detailed business insurance review, but you’re thinking you haven’t got time to look into it … our best advice – take the time.

A 30-60 minute focused renewal conversation today could be one of the highest-return actions you can take as a business owner. Now, more so than ever.

Penberthy’s Insurance is now accredited to recommend PPS Mutual.

And that’s not something every adviser can say. PPS deliberately works with a small, selected panel in New Zealand by design, not by accident.

PPS is also not for everyone. It’s built for people in specific professions, where eligibility matters and where members aren’t just policyholders, they’re shareholders in the mutual model. That alignment changes the conversation from “product” to “partnership.”

If you’re a professional and you’ve ever wondered why some insurers choose not to be available to the general market and what that means for long term value and member experience, we’re happy to share what we’re learning through this new relationship.

Worth understanding, even if you’re not changing anything today.

It’s easy to focus on the headline benefits of insurance.

But often, it’s the softer, less tangible advantages that have the greatest impact when life takes an unexpected turn.

The kind of support you don’t always notice, until you truly need it.

This article looks at those fringe benefits, and why understanding them can change how you think about your cover.

It’s not always the big things that matter most… sometimes it’s the checks you didn’t know you needed.

Melanoma is one of New Zealand’s most common cancers, and early detection can make all the difference. But access, timing, and cover matter more than many people realise.

We unpack why Medical Insurance can play a critical role in our latest Insight Matters newsletter. Have a read here:
