SPECIALTY INSURANCE BROKING. REDEFINED.
Aviso Specialty New Zealand
We're building a New Zealand-led global specialty insurance broker, combining local relationships and autonomy with the world's leading insurance markets.
Built by New Zealand. Led by New Zealand. Connected globally.
Aviso Specialty New Zealand is being built for growing organisations with increasingly complex risks.
We bring together local leadership and decision-making with specialist expertise and access to global insurance markets, without sacrificing senior attention and personal relationships.

Led in New Zealand, with decisions made close to clients and the local market. Supported by specialist capability and an international network.
One relationship. Every capability.
One senior relationship lead who understands your business and brings in the right expertise when required. No unnecessary layers or hand-offs.
Advice before placement.
We begin with your organisation, strategy and exposures. Then we determine what should be managed, transferred or insured.

The opportunity
Growing New Zealand businesses deserve more
Growing New Zealand organisations face increasingly complex risks, but often have to choose between efficient broking models and highly specialised advice.
Aviso Specialty New Zealand is being built to close that gap by combining:
- Senior, accountable relationships
- Specialist risk and insurance advice
- Access to broader insurance markets
- Local decision-making
Sophisticated risk should not mean a complicated broker relationship.
ESTABLISHED BACKING
New to New Zealand. Not starting from scratch.
Aviso Specialty New Zealand will be a new dedicated business, backed by established local, regional and international capability.
The business will draw on:
- Envest’s existing insurance presence in New Zealand
- Aviso Specialty’s 30+ year specialist capability in Australia
- Existing relationships across New Zealand’s private capital and advisory community, including NZ Private Capital
- The international reach of Price Forbes and The Ardonagh Group
Clients will have a locally accountable relationship, with access to specialist expertise and insurance markets beyond New Zealand.
FOUNDING LEADERSHIP
Proven leadership from day one
Toni Ferrier will join Envest Broking as CEO in February 2027 and will play a key role in establishing and growing Aviso Specialty New Zealand, working closely with Aviso Specialty CEO Josh Roach and the broader Aviso Specialty team.
Toni brings deep experience in the New Zealand insurance market, while her long-standing professional relationship with Josh helps create strong alignment across the wider business from the outset.
Together with the broader Aviso Specialty leadership team, they are building the foundations for a specialist broking business focused on local relationships, specialist expertise and long-term growth.
