A new insurance broker and risk advisor office has opened in Pukekohe.
Led by long-time local and All Black turned insurance broker Mark Brooke-Cowden, the office brings together deep regional knowledge with the global strength and capability of Marsh.
Brooke-Cowden said Pukekohe was evolving rapidly.
“When I first moved here in 2001, it was still very much a rural town. Today, we’re seeing an influx of new residents, lifestyle block owners, and small industries setting up across the district.
We’re proud to be part of that journey and offer support to both long-standing rural clients and new arrivals.”
Located within the ‘Golden Triangle’ between Auckland, Hamilton and Tauranga, Pukekohe is positioned for continued growth, with significant infrastructure investment underway nearby in Drury.
Brooke-Cowden said the new Marsh office was strategically located to serve clients from
Takanini in the north to Te Kauwhata in the south — offering both face-to-face service and
access to Marsh’s nationwide resources.
“The needs of our clients are changing. While we continue to support many of the region’s long-standing farmers and growers, we’re also helping lifestyle property owners manage new risks — from liability cover for animals to advice on rural equipment and outbuildings.”
Brooke-Cowden said all staff are locals.
“Some have been here for 15 or 20 years, and we’ve built long-term relationships with our
clients. At the same time, we’ve now got colleagues from across Marsh working out of this
office — people who are choosing Pukekohe for its convenience and lifestyle, just like many of our clients.”
The office also welcomes walk-in clients, whether they’re long-time growers or families new to rural life.
“We’re used to muddy boots at the door. That’s what makes Pukekohe special — it’s a real
community, and we’re proud to be part of it.”
