The Gerrards team is a vibe!

A huge shout out to the members of our team that came down on Friday night!

You guys bring the energy to the room, and it was well felt - and you all did pretty well on the go karts too.

We prove that you can have a job in insurance, and still have a fantastic time when you come to work everyday.

If your job as a broker is slowly burning you out - know that it doesn't have to be like that.... and that there is something better out there.

The Title of New Zealand's Fastest Insurance Company goes to..........

NZI!!!!

A big congrats to the team in Blue for a hard fought victory on friday night.

They had to fend off challengers from:
Vero (A very close second!), QBE Insurance, Ando Insurance (Who took home the wooden spoons - scroll to the end of the photos - you won't be dissapointed), Star Insure (3rd), Delta Insurance New Zealand (Best dressed - the double denim looked superb), Market Lane Insurance Group, TLC Insurance Limited, 360 Underwriting Solutions New Zealand.

Overall some very clean and fair racing - with absolutely everyone posting respectable lap times! I was the only one that picked up penalties on the night aaarrrrgghhh (My true competitive nature might have been on full display haha)

Thanks for the incredible support from all the insurers. We don't have a business without you guys - keep up the awesome work and we hope you had as great of a time as we did!

Thanks again to our sponsors:
Main Sponsor - IQumulate Premium Funding (Special shoutout to the legends Jesse Pilisi & Michael Lee!)
Prize Sponsor - McLarens (Shoutout to Trina Far!)

We are already looking forward to next year - so NZI, don't get too comfortable with that trophy....

“They’ve been blown out of the water by the way Gerrards operates.”

Speed matters.

When a business needs insurance, they don’t need it next week.
They need it now.

Too often it’s:
“We’ll get back to you when we can.”

We don’t operate like that.

Call anyone on our team and you’ll get:
Fast turnaround.
Competitive pricing.
Real results.

That’s why clients stay.

Thanks Qiays 🤝

We are hosting our inaugural insurer event! - For the first time ever, teams from New Zealand’s leading insurers will go head-to-head on the track to determine one simple thing:

Who is the fastest insurer in the country.

Expect high speeds, strategic pit stops, fierce competition, and a lot of bragging rights on the line.

Teams from all the main New Zealand insurers will be pitted against each other to see who comes out on top.

The race will be run in an endurance format, meaning over an hour of non-stop racing where teamwork, strategy, and driver skill will determine who stands on the podium. Think like F1– but better.

Whether you’re chasing the trophy or just trying not to set the slowest lap of the night, it’s shaping up to be an epic evening

Overview:
- Date: 8th of May
- Time: 4pm
- Duration: 2 hours
- Address: Supakarts - 91 Buchan Street, Sydenham

Prizes:
- Winner (The big prize + trophy + extreme bragging rights)
- Second Place
- Fastest Lap
- Second Slowest Lap
- Best Dressed Team

Rules:
- Teams of 4 drivers
- Practice & qualifying session before the race
- Endurance race lasting 1 hour 20 minutes
- 7 compulsory pit stops
- Each driver must complete at least one stint

We will provide:
Helmet, Go-Kart, Food, Professional Photographer & Drinks. Just wear some close toed shoes on your feet. No high heels.

We’re looking forward to seeing which insurer has the speed, teamwork, and nerves to take the title in the first ever Great Insurer Go-Kart Race.

Start thinking about team names, outfits, and strategy.

Only one team will take the trophy home.

Everyone is welcome to attend! Just note - only 4 drivers per insurance company - so if you are keen to get on your team make sure you get back to me fast!

“They just take it off your plate… you don’t even have to worry about it.”

That’s exactly how it should be.

Insurance shouldn’t sit in the back of your mind as another thing to deal with.

It should be handled. Properly. Thoroughly. Consistently.

So you can focus on running your business, not trying to understand policy wording.

That’s our job.

Thanks again Cat 🙌

Meet the team: Louie Reid - Head of Outreach

Louie began his career in insurance through door knocking for personal insurance, booking appointments for advisors and brokers. He has since moved into the commercial space with Gerrard's, where he focuses on online outreach — calling and emailing business directors to connect them with Gerrard's brokers, with the goal of helping businesses save money on insurance policies and achieve stronger coverage.

Alongside his career, Louie is in his third year studying Economics and International Business at the University of Canterbury. He is President of the University Social Golf Society, which has grown to around 300 members, and is involved in Te Mana Pounamu, the UC Māori and Pasifika Commerce Club, where he manages sponsorship.

Louie recently travelled to Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia on a month-long university study tour, undertaking market research and business meetings with industry leaders across Southeast Asia.

A multi-national title holder in surf lifesaving IRB racing, Louie has won gold at New Zealand Nationals in the Under 19, Under 23, and Open Male grades. Outside of work and study, Louie is an avid golfer playing off a handicap of three or four, a keen skier, and an enthusiastic surfer.
