Our Team
‘Above and beyond’ insurance advisors
Here at Resure, an unwavering client focus and tireless commitment to the best client outcomes is at the heart of everything we do.
Insurance is about reassurance – it’s about the peace of mind that knowing your family, business, and the things you care most about are covered, no matter the circumstances.
Whether you’re trying to navigate what you need and negotiate the best terms and prices, it’s time for an insurance review because something in your situation has changed, or you want someone to go into battle for you or take your pain away at claim time, Resure are here to help. While you can go direct to some insurers, an independent broker helps to tailor a service and solution to your individual needs. At Resure, we’ll not only put together the best insurance products, we’ll go in to bat for you every time.
Resure work with clients surrounding our Wellington and Christchurch offices, as well as from all across New Zealand. We’d love to work with you – so get in touch today and check out some of what our other customers have said about us below.
Jordan Clemence
Director / Financial Advisor
For Jordan, it’s not about paying lip service to customer service; it’s about doing what you say you are going to do – and then some. In Jordan’s years in the industry, he’s proven himself a claims champ – establishing relationships with dedicated claims people at each of the insurers and working with clients through the entire lifespan of their insurance; especially when it’s most critical. He’s founded Resure to continue building on his personal mandate of exceptional customer experiences.
Prior to his career in insurance, Jordan completed his commercial pilot’s license and had a successful business employing over 25 staff, so he can wear both his ‘broker’ and ‘business owner’ hats for clients. Add to this time spent raising a family and you start to get a picture of the scope of Jordan’s skillset and ability to empathise. It’s all part of why he’s so determined to do right for the people around him.
