16 Jul 🚶‍♀️ Dry July: Accelerate Team Steps Up for a Cause

Posted at 10:58h in Uncategorized by controlshift

This July, the Accelerate team has proudly gone alcohol-free to support Dry July — a national campaign raising vital funds for New Zealanders affected by cancer. From Friday night catchups turned into sparkling water socials, to embracing mocktails and morning walks, our team has gone all in.

Dry July isn’t just about cutting out alcohol; it’s about making a real impact. Every dollar raised supports cancer patients and their families through organisations like Look Good Feel Better, Cancer Society NZ, and Bowel Cancer NZ.

We’re thrilled to report that, so far, the team has raised $620, with more donations rolling in each week. Huge thanks to everyone who’s contributed, supported, or simply cheered us on.

💡 Want to donate? Visit our team page https://www.dryjuly.co.nz/teams/team-accelerate/donations/new and help us go even further.

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.

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.

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.

We recently had to make a claim and the entire process was smooth and straight forward, and Holly continued following up until all resolved. Thanks again!

I've been a customer for 10+ years with Accelerate. They've made sure my insurance needs and that of my family have always been meet even with these ever changing times. All of my queries wether is be a contents, car, medical claims are answered promptly and in plain English. I don't ever feel like I'm just a number I get personal tailored service to meet my needs.

I have been a customer of accelerate for 7 years now. I have had a few reviews from other advisers in that time all coming in much the same price wise. The reason why I choose to stay with Jared at accelerate is the easiness of new policies and claims. I barely have to lift a pen to a policy form and with the few claims we have had I have not had to chase anything up, Jared takes care of this and in my opinion goes above and beyond every time. These two reasons to me are what are important in a broker. Running small business it take the stress out of forms and saving time making claims happen.

Scott and his team have provided my family as well my business with our insurance needs for the last five years.

I find them to be both practical and efficient with a strong commercial outlook and focus. They know the insurance industry well and provide an excellent service with wonderful advice.

Highly recommend.

Accelerate has run an employee wellness and insurance program at Abodo for over 10 years, very happy with the personal service.

It took 17 days for Accelerate Directors and Authorised Financial Advisors, Jared Fenwick & Scott Campbell, to provide me the most basic of professional courtesy of a response, (or even a receipt of acknowledgement), of my email where I raised very valid concerns with Accelerate in regards to their business methods as result of the departure of our very long-term professional, efficient and hardworking senior General Insurance Advisor and Client Manager, Elaine, (who always responded promptly to all emails and phone calls), who departed Accelerate 25/2/2019. I requested very basic information from Accelerate so I could make an informed decision whether to stay with Accelerate or take my business elsewhere to a place of my choice instead of being assigned to someone I had no knowledge of without even the basic courtesy of an introductory email from the directors of Accelerate. Accelerates response was finally made only after I informed them that if the prior response requested was not provided within 48 hours the matter would be taken further. Finally, after 17 days delay, I received an email with, "apologies for delay in Accelerate responding", "I apologize for the lack of communication". No explanation, no communication. I have found the actions of Accelerate, Jared and Scott to be discourteous, unreliable and lacking in honesty and integrity with failings in providing their very, very long-term client who has referred many clients to Accelerate over the years to be lacking in the most basic of care and very disrespectful. As result I was left with no choice but to remove all our business with Accelerate and advise all my clients referred to them over the many years to also do so. I also personally know that mine is not an isolated issue of this same nature with Accelerate post the departure of Elaine. Accelerate, without Elaine caring for us, is not a business I wish to either use myself or endorse in any manner going forward. I would recommend anyone having the same issues I have experienced with Accelerate to contact FMA (Financial Market Authority) for advice on how to proceed. If they devalue a very long-termclient who has referred many of my clients to them, what would they do to any new client even considering their business.

I've been with Accelerate for nearly 10 years and they have have been great. I've had my flat broken into and my car crashed into and the team at Accelerate were the best to deal with. They took control and helped me to sort though everything, giving me good honest advice. Definitely recommend using this team.

Elaine has been simply amazing to deal with. She is a very good listener and very patient with us. Elaine understood our needs and was able to provide excellent solutions. She explained things to us in simple language without overwhelming us with details. We have been very satisfied with the products we've purchased and we are happy to recommend her service to anyone.

I have had the good fortune to be looked after by the team at Accelerate for longer than I can remember. Nothing has been too much trouble, particularly in respect of accommodating some of our "outside the box" requirements. Worthy of special mention is Elaine Botha; not only has she been diligently proactive in respect of suggested improvements, she has also demonstrated most reassuring calmness and composure when we've had the odd "oops". Five stars not really an adequate rating....
