Ando Insurance
Ando was created because of the irresistible opportunity we saw to build a partnership-driven business, with no baggage or bureaucracy; just great technology and a brilliant team of well-known New Zealand insurance people, who are all experts in their fields. Our vision is to create a fresh, nimble, customer-centered business that will challenge the traditional insurance company model and help shape the future of the New Zealand insurance industry. Ando, operating as an underwriting agency, is majority owned by our management team, with a shareholding held by Australian underwriter The Hollard Insurance Company Pty Ltd, whose innovative and entrepreneurial business model is a perfect match for us. Because our business leaders are also the owners, decisions are made locally and fast, allowing us to be more customer-focused than traditional players. This flexible, nimble structure enables us to work closely with brokers and partners to create fast, fresh solutions that simplify and streamline the way we do business for our customers. As we grow we will be seeking talented and ambitious insurance professionals to join us in this exciting and dynamic new environment. If you are interested, let’s talk.
