Rothbury Insurance Brokers has announced that it has partnered up with Kiwi business advisory group Grow NZ Business to support small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs).

Grow NZ Business supports Kiwi SMEs by linking them to trusted local and global business partners and providing access to world class solutions across all facets of business. Now, the strategic alliance offers Rothbury business clients free Grow NZ Business membership for one year while Grow NZ Business members will have access to the insurance broker’s award-winning insurance broking expertise and claims advocacy services.

Richard Davis, strategic partner manager at Rothbury, said working alongside Grow NZ Business is a natural fit as the two companies share similar values and the same ultimate end goal — to support New Zealand businesses.

“Our business has never been just about insurance,” Davis said. “We are a people company and we think of ourselves as a strategic business partner to our clients. We’re constantly on the hunt for new ways we can add value for our clients and their businesses. Forming an alliance with Grow NZ Business gives our clients access to trusted business advice and hands-on support to help them grow their businesses sustainably.”

Jamie Farmer, founder of Grow NZ Business, said he’s delighted to work with the insurance broker to help add value for their clients.

“We are really looking forward to welcoming Rothbury clients to our growing group of more than 8,000 Grow NZ Business members,” Farmer said. “We’re confident our new members will gain instant value by being part of our network and will benefit from the tried and tested hands-on support and strategic business advice our partners offer to help Kiwi businesses grow sustainably.”
