Celebrating 50 years of risk and insurance broking in New Zealand

Celebrating 50 years of risk and insurance broking in New Zealand

Today, ICIB Brokerweb celebrates 50 years of looking after New Zealand businesses’ insurance needs.

Our journey began on 7 July 1975, when Colin Evans and James Crisp Limited started Industrial and Commercial Insurance Brokers (ICIB) Ltd.

Since then, we have evolved significantly through a range of mergers and acquisitions and are now called the ICIB Brokerweb Group.

With over 320 people in 18 branches across New Zealand, the company is now New Zealand’s fifth largest insurance broking firm and risk advisory.

We still have two employees that worked for the original business, clients that have remained with us throughout, and several more customers who have been with us for many years.

Managing Director Grant Milne says of this milestone –

“We are not only extremely proud of our Kiwi heritage over the last 50 years, but the fact that our business is still managed by employee shareholders. Having acquired three small broking firms this year alone we look forward to our continued growth, whilst still maintaining our focus on building valued client relationships and providing excellent risk and insurance advice to our clients.”
