Episode 13 – Helen Rice speaks with Paul Carpenter, Insurance Broker at Marsh
Description
Kia ora everyone and welcome to episode 13 of Rice Speir Radio. For anyone new to the show, we are a Podcast that focuses on all things local government. I’m your host, Nathan Speir, and I am Managing Partner of Rice Speir, a dedicated local government law firm helping councils solve problems all over New Zealand.
Insurance in the local government world is something we get plenty of questions about. Who is our insurer? What are we covered for? What can we say and what can’t we? It can sometimes be a bit of a mysterious topic but really doesn’t have to be.
So, in this episode we decided to try and lift a bit of the mystery around insurance and Helen Rice sat down with Paul Carpenter, who has been an insurance broker for the last 25 years, originally with JLT and after the huge merger in 2019 (a $5.6b acquisition), now with Marsh. In Paul’s career he has seen 13,000 claims notified by local government clients! Of those 70% come from councils carrying out their Building Control Function.
Don’t forget to like and subscribe to the podcast, it really does help us get the word out. And a final big thank you to our sponsor Maynard Marks.
Without further ado, here’s Helen and Paul direct from Wellington.
