Gallagher Bassett Mobilises Global Task Force to Assist NZ Insurers

Gallagher Bassett, one of the world's largest claims management firms, has mobilised its global task force to assist New Zealand insurers in managing an increased volume of claims.

The deployment brings international claims expertise and additional resources to support New Zealand's insurance industry during a period of heightened demand.

"We recognise the challenges facing New Zealand's insurance sector and are committed to providing the support needed," said Gallagher Bassett's Asia-Pacific CEO. "Our global task force model allows us to rapidly deploy experienced claims professionals from across our international network."

The initiative involves claims specialists from Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom working alongside local New Zealand teams to process claims efficiently and support policyholders.

Gallagher Bassett operates across multiple countries and manages millions of claims annually. The company's presence in New Zealand forms part of its broader Asia-Pacific operations.

The mobilisation demonstrates the importance of having a global franchise network that can respond quickly to local market needs, a key advantage of well-established international franchise systems.
