Julian Lee Smit, Primesure Brokers LTD

Commercial and Domestic Insurance Broker | Primesure Brokers LTD

Age: 33

Having emigrated from South Africa in 2019, this year marks Julian Lee Smit’s first year in the New Zealand market. Entering the industry at the age of 20 as a broker intern, at 25 Smit had already worked his way to the position of manager of the brokering and sales team – a position he held until relocating. Despite being the youngest member on the team, Smit rapidly gained experience and leadership skills, helping create a well-bonded team who were dedicated to achieving group targets.   

During this time, Smit also helped grow his company’s staff from 10 people in 2007 to 150 in 2019, through substantial new business growth and building key relationships with insurers. He also helped develop some internal niche products – assist programmes, wheel and tyre products, and high net worth offerings – through the company’s internal admin facility.

Today, Smit plans to help further grow Primesure into a nationally known and trusted commercial broker, whilst maintaining the business’ key principles. To adapt to future change in the marketplace, Smit also looks to work with insurers to develop and upgrade products, an find new ways of identifying new business through fostering relationships with key decision makers in different industries who have a common goal or client.
