Crombie Lockwood Insurance Brokers are delighted to partner with FANZ and their members in New Zealand. Founded in Napier in 1978 we have grown to be the largest insurance broker in New Zealand with 26 offices nationwide. We have a strong reputation in dealing with organisations like FANZ and our national footprint ensures that every member is able to hold one-on-one insurance review discussions. Our FANZ business insurance solution protects both the franchisor and franchisee as insurable events have a knock-on effect. However, this insurance goes even further: it offers compensation to the franchisor following an insured disruption to the franchisee’s business. All too common today we find that Franchisees rely on other neighbouring businesses for foot traffic and for this reason we have secured Loss of Attraction cover for FANZ Members. This is unique in New Zealand and is offered exclusively to FANZ members. To arrange efficient, effective insurance for your franchise, call Paul Kuhn on 04 802 0165 or email fanz@crombielockwood.co.nz

Ecoware came to life almost a decade ago when founders James Calver and Alex Magaraggia (EY Entrepreneurs of the Year Finalists 2018 and Denizen Heroes of 2019) realised they wanted a business that had social impact and made a measurable difference for future generations.
The fast approaching plastic pollution crisis was something they couldn’t ignore, so Ecoware was born out of a passion to build a circular economy in New Zealand. To help achieve this, the company designs a range of plant-based and compostable food packaging that uses resources sustainably and responsibly, giving environmental, social and economic concerns equal consideration. Their concept is simple: work with nature, not against it.
Ecoware is New Zealand’s only carbon neutral certified packaging company, making regular appearances on the Deloitte Fast 50 index with triple figure growth, this small kiwi company is catching attention locally and globally, now exporting to all corners. Where to next? Continue to develop a brand thats puts the earth first. All this in less than 10 years from conception. This is a business to watch.
