I’m incredibly excited to bring you this update as I pick up the role of driving our support for the important work you do to protect the life’s work of New Zealanders.
Before I get down to business, I want to extend my message of thanks to Haakie for everything he has done for our business. Under his leadership we’ve grown substantially as a business and built a solid foundation for our future success. It’s a huge privilege to be following in his footsteps and I wish him well for his future endeavours.
Looking ahead, I’m sure you’ll be wondering what’s in store as I step into my new role. What I can say is that I’ll continue to be as market-facing in my role as I’ve been to date. In fact you'll be seeing even more of me, and us as a business, right across the country as we continue to grow our presence in market and build on our valued partnership with you.
Your feedback has been front-of-mind for me as I look ahead for this year and beyond. Some initial priorities include:
- Continued product development with your feedback and the changing needs of our customers at the centre.
- Expanding our service proposition to not only support you to do business with us but also to help you grow your businesses.
- Prioritising face-to-face time. We’re excited to see even more of you all this year. We’ll be looking into more opportunities to connect with you and to connect you to each other.
We’ve had a busy start to the year - you may have already spotted our new advertising credit on the 1News Weather segment. Our aim is to raise more awareness about the importance of life insurance and how Chubb Life can help the audience prepare for the unexpected. If you haven’t spotted him yet, you can check out our very own Phil Thompson’s moment in the spotlight here
A reminder that to make the most of our 2 Months’ FREE and Multi-benefit discount campaigns, business must be submitted by 31 March and issued by 30 April to qualify for the campaign offers. You can find out more about these offers on our website
And finally on a personal note, I’d like to thank you all for your well wishes over the past couple of weeks following the announcement of my appointment. I’ve been overwhelmed by the number of messages I’ve received and look forward to catching up with many of you soon.
Speak soon.
