Happy Pink Shirt Day from our team! 🩷

We're wearing pink today as a reminder that kindness goes a long way — at work, at home, and everywhere in between. Bullying has no place here, and we're proud to stand together against it.

Be kind out there. 💪

As the weather starts to cool down, it’s often the small things that get forgotten about.

A slow leak.
A loose tile.
A heater that hasn’t been used since last winter.
A change to a property or business that never quite made it onto the policy.

Most issues don’t start as major ones.

It's worth checking now, before winter properly sets in.

A quick insurance update.
From 1 July 2026, the Fire and Emergency NZ (FENZ) levy is changing.
This is a government charge that sits alongside your insurance, and the way it’s calculated is being updated.
For some properties, particularly commercial, this may affect the amount you see at renewal.
If you’d like a simple breakdown of what’s changing, we’ve put that together here:

Sometimes it’s not the event itself that catches people out.

It’s the difference between what we expected our insurance to cover and how it actually responds.

Those gaps are often small, but they can make a difference.

We’ve shared a short blog that touches on a few common areas and why it can be worth checking from time to time:

Rexina’s video of her dad that we shared a few weeks ago clearly struck a bit of a chord.

And it makes sense. That’s what cyber risk often looks like in real life. Not complex systems or technical jargon, just everyday moments, emails, links, and quick decisions while you’re getting on with the job.

We’ve put together a short blog that builds on that and shares a few simple things worth being aware of: https://cx.page/9gwbd8

With the long weekend ahead, a quick Easter reminder.

Whether you’re heading away or staying close to home, we hope you get a chance to slow down and enjoy a bit of a break.

If you are travelling, a quick check before you go can make all the difference:

Doors and windows locked
Alarm set
Valuables out of sight

Enjoy the long weekend 🐣

This one gave us a bit of a laugh, but it also hits the mark.

One of our team shared this video of her dad.

He’s spent most of his life working on the tools, not behind a desk. But these days, like a lot of people, he’s using technology every day for work.

And as she points out… if something looks legitimate, there’s a good chance it’ll get clicked.

Not because he’s careless, just because he’s human.

It’s a simple reminder that cyber risk isn’t just about systems, it’s about people and everyday behaviour.

And that’s exactly what scammers rely on.

When did you last review your insurance cover?

Circumstances change over time. Building costs increase, vehicles are replaced, and businesses grow.

If it’s been a while since you last checked your cover, it might be worth making sure it still reflects your current situation.

The Dawson’s team is always happy to help sense-check things if you have questions.

Gold prices have risen steadily in recent years.

If you have jewellery at home, even pieces that have been tucked away for years, it might now be worth more than you think.

Many insurance policies include limits for unspecified jewellery, so it can be a good idea to check that your cover still reflects current values.

We’ve put together a short article explaining why this matters and what to consider linked here: https://cx.page/kdvmlc
