We Value Connections

Insurance isn't my favourite topic but Josh made it all pretty easy. He was flexible with times to meet, listened carefully to our wants and needs, and presented thoroughly researched options to us. There was no time pressure, things unfolded pretty organically and we are happy with the end result. We recommend Josh because he is friendly, open and great at explaining concepts.

I highly recommend Josh Eade if you are needing a thorough discussion about your insurance cover and understanding what kind of options are possible. Top notch, mate!

Dave Thomas has been my KiwiSaver and general insurance adviser for both myself and my family for many years. Throughout this time, Dave has always provided clear, practical advice and taken the time to explain the risks, benefits and differences between the various options and packages. Around 10 years ago, Dave recommended that I take out income protection insurance. At the time, I hoped I would never need it, but that advice proved invaluable this year when I experienced a serious injury and needed financial and insurance support during my recovery. Thanks to Dave’s foresight and advice, what was already a very difficult and unexpected situation was made significantly easier. I’m extremely grateful for his guidance over the years and would have no hesitation in recommending Dave to anyone looking for a trusted and knowledgeable insurance adviser. Thank you, Dave, for your advice, support and wisdom.

The team at Accelerate are a delight to work with. We moved over from another broker after being with them for 10 years and we wished we had moved sooner. The level of service, insight and care we received was exceptional with Accelerate. A team of outstanding performers. Quality service, market competitive pricing and true knowledge of the industry they work within. I would recommend Holly and Scott to anyone nervous of a move and looking for a team that actually care.

I used to be skeptical about insurance agents, but Jared has impressed me with his professionalism and clear focus on adapting our coverage as we age. He isn’t pushy and clearly explains what needs reviewing and why. His reminder to treat insurance like an annual check-up was timely, making reviews simple and relevant. I highly recommend him for honest, thoughtful insurance guidance

I made a contents claim, and Holly the broker ensured it was the smoothest experience I have ever had!! She was so helpful and patient as I had not done the process before. Anyway it was all sorted in a few days. I highly recommend in all aspects of their insurance.

Shweta guided us very well and handled all our insurance needs for the moving company, including trucking and other important coverages. Very professional, helpful, and easy to deal with. Thanks for the great service

Had a great experience with Shweta from the Accelerate team — her guidance and support were exceptional. Highly recommended!

My experience with Shweta has been exceptional. She took the time to understand my financial goals and suggested insurance plans that were both affordable and comprehensive. What impressed me the most was her clarity—no jargon, no pressure, just genuine advice. She followed up promptly and made sure everything was completed without hassle. If you're looking for someone reliable and trustworthy, Shweta is the one!

We had an outstanding experience with our insurance advisor Bindu Garikipati. She guided us through both health and life insurance options with genuine care and clarity, making what could have been a confusing process incredibly simple and stress-free. Her support didn’t end once the policies were set up—she also assisted us with our claims, ensuring everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. It’s rare to find someone so knowledgeable, patient, and truly committed to their clients’ wellbeing. We’re extremely grateful for her help and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable and professional insurance advice.

Have looked after life insurance for some 50 years. Not needed to much, however when making enquiries, converting to endowment, or arranging redemption there was never a problem finding my file or taking things forward. Thank you to Dave and the team.

Accelerate handled transferring my and my partner's insurance from private to employer-provided. While I do have to be honest and say there were some hiccups, the team responded quickly to any complaints and made things right. Throughout, the team were friendly and detailed in their communication.

We were incredibly lucky to find this company and Dave Thomas in particular. I have no words to express my gratitude to Dave for helping us find the product that satisfied us, even though it was very difficult and time consuming. His phenomenal patience, thoughtfulness, personal approach, and absolute knowledge and understanding of the market made our insurance possible. I recommend him as much as I can. 1000 of 100.

I thoughly enjoyed working with Mitch who helped enormously in navigating the insurance for my replacement benchtop.

Bindu Garikipati is a fantastic consultant, very helpful and professional. She kept me informed throughout the entire process and really made the effort and took the time to find the best insurance suitable to my needs. Much appreciation.

Holly & the team have been exceptional, they helped us set up the correct insurance for our family and have been alongside us at every point when we've needed help making claims & ensuring we get the best possible outcomes. Highly recommend working with Holly

Highly recommend Accelerate. Exceptional customer service.

Scott has been fabulous throughout our association and again during our recent hit from burglary. Responding to us after hours and sending forms through ready to fill in. I was prepared for a hard process but Scott made the event very easy. Really do appreciate all your great assistance. Mike

Bindu, Scott and the team are fantastic. I have worked with the Accelerate over the last 9 years would highly recommend them. They are professional and the Southern Cross onboarding experience and account management with them is superb.

Really happy with the service from Accelerate. Mitch Donnell and the team were professional, responsive, and truly cared about finding the best coverage to suit my needs. They made the process simple and stress-free. Totally recommend them!

I have just had the pleasure of dealing with Josh Eade at Accelerate. I had an issue and Josh went over and above normal customer service to ensure my issue was fixed. I was so impressed with his professionalism and his wonderful manner making sure I felt like a valued customer.

Our agent Scott has been amazing. He was so supportive and guided us every step of the way, as we made our insurance claims. He offered very sound advice. I would recommend Scott and Accelerate to anyone needing an insurance agent.

Holly has been great in helping us with our insurance issues, great comms and very quick and efficient. Would recommend.
