what our clients say...
“After Cyclone Gabrielle the cray fisheries were wiped out. We lost about 25% of our craypots and gear out at sea. We didn’t know how we were going to recover. O’Connor Warren were hectic with claims but when we called they acted fast and worked closely to help us put together the parts we needed to claim. We didn’t even know we had cover for the lost equipment. In a short space of time we had the full settlement paid. The feeling of relief was unreal. A great team of professionals that always deliver.”

“Smart Express have worked with O’Connor Warren for many years due to their industry knowledge and expertise in providing tailored insurance solutions. As a company that prioritizes custom solutions for our clients, we needed an insurance partner who not only understands the complexities of our business but also provides practical, timely advice to help shape our internal decision-making—especially when it comes to our marine and freight liability obligations. The O'Connor Warren team is always accessible, and they’ve even gone the extra mile by offering direct solutions to our own customers to reduce complexity and risk, when necessary. Given the nature of our work, which frequently involves contract projects requiring specialized marine coverage for both cargo and personnel, their support has been crucial. This strong, professional partnership plays a key role in our ongoing success and is invaluable to our operations.”
