The technology sector is booming in the South Island, especially Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson and Queenstown, according to Delta Insurance’s first liability underwriter on the ground.
“Delta’s offering for technology and cyber liabilities are a great fit for key South Island technology companies,” Delta Insurance South Island Portfolio Manager Karl Samson told the
Make Lemonade.
Samson said Delta is looking to establish itself as a key partner for the technology sector and that the insurance company has recently signed up as a member of the Canterbury Tech.
“Delta offers much more than insurance for technology risks; they are recognised as market leaders in the broad liability insurance market and this ranges from very standard coverages such as public liability and statutory liability right through to more niche products such as UAV (drone) insurance,” Samson said.
According to Samson, Delta is the first to offer a local environmental and pollution risk product in New Zealand which, covers increasing and problematic risks such asbestos and meth.
“This point of difference is leading to a better understanding of South Island businesses and brokers. We want to provide more effective solutions to South Island businesses – one example is the technology sector,” Samson said.
