James Shearing

​DIRECTOR & SENIOR RISK ADVISER
​
With over 25 years in the insurance and reinsurance industry and having worked as an adviser and underwriter in New Zealand, Australia and the UK, James has developed a unique perspective on specialist risk management and available markets. He has been involved with a wide variety of businesses and built a reputation around his integrity and qualified advice.

​
James met his wife Rachel in Wellington, having first arrived in New Zealand nearly 20 years ago to play rugby in Marlborough. They have two daughters, keeping James very occupied outside of work. James enjoys the good life on their lifestyle block in Masterton, coaching his girls’ cricket/ hockey and the odd “jog” around the block!
