Katrina Church

Director | Head of Client Engagement

Many New Zealanders put insurance in the too hard basket – life is busy and often people don’t know where to go to get sound advice. One of the things I love about what I do is helping people make decisions that are right for them, their families and their business.

I started my career in insurance in 1998 as a tied adviser with what was then called Guardian Assurance. I realized fairly quickly the importance of impartial advice – ensuring the right product is placed rather than being tied to one insurer – and became an associate with a brokerage called Apex Advice Group.

After four years of what I call my ‘apprenticeship’, I then started my own firm Synergy Financial Solutions. In 2006 I merged my practice with Insurance People and have been managing and growing the team since then.

My team and I are passionate about insurance and giving advice that makes a real difference. Often the time that this is most evident is at claim – in fact, I consider my greatest achievement to be getting a $180,000 claim that a new
client had been battling with for 18 months paid within two days, simply by bringing the parties together in a room.

That is the difference a quality adviser who places a high value on relationships makes, and that’s what you’ll find with myself and my team at Insurance People.

Lloyd Earwaker

Financial Adviser

I don’t sell insurance, I buy insurance on behalf of clients based on lifestyle and budget.

Before working in insurance I’ve had a variety of roles including commercial flying and managing my own horticultural farm. I have three children which I take the most pride in the experience I have had bringing them up to become successful adults.

I am always looking to the positive and my outside of work interests include fishing, flying and property investment. I like to get out and interact with people rather than sit at a desk all day and my personal ethos is to find something that I like doing, go the extra mile and have a lot of fun.

I enjoy working in insurance as it utilises my technical knowledge as well as creating the opportunity to build relationships with people from all walks of life.

Working with 10 independent insurance providers I can offer my clients more Innovative policies that can be superior to off the shelf solutions from banks and online sellers.

With 10- years’ experience, I take the time to understand a client’s lifestyle and budget and use my expertise and knowledge to match the most comprehensive and smart insurance product that will give peace of mind and save money.

I like to give expert advice for my clients advantage, but I leave a space for my clients to make up their own mind and reach their own conclusions on what cover they may need.

At claim time Insurance People totally manage the claims process and act as intermediary’s between clients and insurer thus taking the stress and hassle away at a client’s greatest time of need.
