Who We Are

At Gallagher, we’ve been helping to protect what’s important to people and businesses for more than 95 years.

Gallagher is one of the world’s top three insurance brokerage and risk management companies, with a global network of brokers in over 130 countries. Previously known as Crombie Lockwood in New Zealand, we have a long history of helping New Zealanders with their insurance needs.

We help Kiwis face their future with confidence

As expert advisers, we identify and arrange business, rural, personal and life and health insurance on behalf of around 115,000 clients. One of the leading broking companies in New Zealand, our teams of 900 broking professionals are based in over 30 offices around the country.

Although we became a part of the Gallagher network in 2014, we took up the global Gallagher brand name in 2023 to further increase our ability to access more insurance products and pricing options from international insurers. Our local business, which was established in 1978, is still led by two of our Kiwi founders, Steve Lockwood and Carl O’Shea.

Founded on strong values

Our Gallagher people are driven to do their best for clients, colleagues and communities. Our unique culture is based on values such as integrity, inclusion and respect; collaboration in the best interest of the client; and professional excellence. Our shared values are set out in the Gallagher Way, a series of 25 tenets that guides how we do business and informs the actions we take every day.

As a result of our values-driven approach, Gallagher has been recognised as one of The World’s Most Ethical Companies as a 13-time honoree.

Caring for our communities

We are active in caring for our communities and back initiatives that enhance, protect and restore the things that matter to New Zealanders. We are an Official Partner of Save the Kiwi and Principal Partner of Trees for Survival.

With our Gallagher colleagues around the world, we also support projects that make a difference to others. These include our partnership with World Rugby to help women participate at elite levels of the sport and our support of the Special Olympics, which reflects our commitment to inclusion and helping people find their teams to succeed in life.

We are committed to helping our people grow and succeed with us. By investing in learning and development at every level, from brokers, people leaders to support roles. We nurture the professional growth of our people at each step of their career path. For example our ‘local lead led’ approach enables people from different levels and areas of our business to lead key company initiatives, offering hands-on opportunities to turn strategy into action.

We also encourage and support those new to the insurance industry to become professionally qualified advisers through our study support programme.

At Gallagher, we make success happen. We are stronger as one team and together we continually strive to make a difference, whether it’s for our clients, our colleagues or our communities.
