IUA, when first established in 1997, was regarded as essentially a niche market, moderate to high hazard property underwriter. The purchase of JCG by IUA in 2000 started to change IUA into more of a General Insurer. Since 2000, IUA has expanded further both by way of products and by the opening of an office in Christchurch to adequately service our broker clients in the South Island. IUA now have a staff of 12, further details can be found on our website: www.iua.co.nz. Our expansion over recent years has led to IUA to be able to offer various classes.
