Who we are

Straightforward advice. Strong advocacy. Real protection.

At Turbo Insurance, we help Kiwi businesses, households, and trade networks make sense of insurance. Based in the Waikato and proudly locally owned, we're here to simplify risk — not complicate it.

With deep experience across domestic, commercial, and people risk, we tailor solutions that fit your world, not someone else’s template. Whether you're running a busy garage, managing a growing SME, or just want to know your home and family are well covered, we’ll get you the right protection — and back you when it counts.

We’re part of a trusted nationwide broker network, with access to major insurers and specialist markets. But more than that, we act as your partner: explaining your options, advocating at claim time, and checking in as your needs evolve.

Our values are simple:

  • Client First – We work for you, not the insurer.

  • Expertise That Empowers – Knowledge shared is confidence gained.

  • Rock Solid – When things go wrong, we show up and follow through.

Let’s build a smarter insurance plan — one that keeps your business moving and your mind at ease.

Founder & Insurance Broker · FSP1009977

Hi, I'm James.

Born and raised in the Waikato. Over a decade in insurance. Here to make it simple.

Before insurance, I spent years working across FMCG, telecommunications, technology, SaaS, and finance. That background wasn't a detour — it's what makes me genuinely useful to business owners. I understand how different industries operate, where the real risks sit, and what a claim or gap in cover actually means for a business trying to keep moving.

I've been in insurance for over 10 years, and I started Turbo because I kept seeing the same problem: good businesses with the wrong cover, or no real advocate when things went wrong. Turbo fixes that. We work for you — not the insurer.

We've built a particular depth of expertise around motor trade, franchise systems, construction and trades, manufacturing, and property risk. These are industries with real complexity, and they deserve a broker who actually understands the business behind the policy.

If you're not sure whether your cover is right, let's find out together — no obligation, no jargon.
