Who We Are

In 2021 Crombie Lockwood was listed as an HRD New Zealand 5-Star Employer of Choice. This award was in recognition of achievements and initiatives across a range of aspects of the employee experience.

In 2020 we were named in the Top Insurance Workplaces list. The report recognised employers for excelling in areas including remuneration and training, diversity, access to technology, health and rewards schemes.

We are one of the largest insurance broking companies in New Zealand, yet we still maintain a strong client focus and the longstanding relationships our business is built on.

Our company started in the provinces, expanded across New Zealand, then gained international backing when we became part of Gallagher in 2014.

At Crombie Lockwood, you’ll get the opportunity to:

Make a difference, and have a positive impact for our clients and community
Work with colleagues and leaders who respect each other and care about results
Grow and develop in your current role and prepare for future opportunities
Be rewarded and recognised for the contributions that you make
