About

We are a Dunedin based owned and operated insurance broking company providing professional and independent advice across commercial, domestic general, and rural insurance.

 Our full-range service includes:

  • Identification of risks and exposures
  • Recommendation of appropriate covers
  • Placement of risks on competitive terms with insurers
  • Claims assistance and management on behalf of clients

Our aim is to ensure that you always have the most complete and suitable insurance in place, and to assist in the management of any claims to see that they are settled fairly and promptly.

Why insure and why choose OFS?

You work hard, and you need to protect what you have worked hard for. Every single day your business and personal assets face risks from nature, crime, and any number of other unforeseen events.  Insuring your assets enables you to remove, or at least reduce, the potential impact of those events.

As a brokerage, we work for you to source and build an insurance package specific to your situation and the risks you are likely to face.  Our relationship with major New Zealand and international insurance companies enables us to provide you with a “value for money” solution specific to your situation.

Choosing an established and locally based insurance broker makes sense if you value responsiveness and a relationship with others equally committed to living and working in this part of the world.  We have been looking after the needs of clients for over 20 years.
