  • Thank you Katrina for making sure we had the right business insurance and the right amount of cover. I absolutely recommend Katrina Church as our experience is, she provided a quality, efficient and persistent claim process, working hard to expedite the financial relief required then took time to understand and coach us through the emotional journey we were on. It was much more than insurance we invested in.

    Karen & Keith Browne, Auckland

  • “Recently I was referred to Katrina Church at Insurance People by a work colleague. Wow! Katrina translated a bewildering array of options into plain English and tailored a solution that works perfectly for me; all within my budget. Katrina speaks the language of the underwriters and helped me to remove or mitigate exclusions on my medical insurance proving that she really is a subject matter expert. It’s been fantastic handing over my insurances to Insurance People and I only wish I’d done it years ago.”
