Out on their own and looking to clean up the insurance broker industry

Paul McCarrison and Mark Hayes launched their new business McCarrison Hayes a month ago and it has begun operating from Hamilton and Auckland offices.

Hayes says they went out on their own because they thought they could offer customers better value and a better job.

“We’re trying to raise the industry by being transparent and professional, we want insurance brokers to be viewed in a similar light to accountants and solicitors,” he says.

The pair aim to do this by avoiding practices commonly seen in the insurance broker industry that they don’t agree with.
