Apex Marine & General will operate in a dynamic sector that covers everything from large scale seafood operators to niche tourism.
A regular boatie and competitive yacht racer with 25 years’ global insurance experience Brent Mullan is passionate on the subject of the New Zealand marine industry.
“New Zealand has been rewarded for innovation and risk taking and we’re seeing significant investment in seafood and tourism as well as a booming pleasurecraft market across the country.”
Mullan feels Apex Marine’s strong developed underwriter relationships will benefit clients and help to improve the sustainability of smaller regional operators.
“A really big area for us in terms of education and support are the 1 or 2 person teams who are having a crack. Tradies and boaties often don’t seek specialist advice yet they have the same liability exposure as bigger companies.”
“Our success has been built on collaboration and identifying new opportunities to help our clients meet the challenges of their industry. Brent’s energy, passion and high-level experience not only adds value to existing Apex customers but will expand our ability to create new networks and relationships.
Businesses covered by marine industry regulations require specialist insurance and many are unaware that buying off-the-peg products can leave operators high and dry if their claim is not covered under their policy.”
To win you have to believe you can do it. You have to be passionate about it. You have to really “want” the result even if this means years of work. The hardest part of any project is to begin.”
