Elite Broker - Eamon O'Connor recognised for second consecutive year

O’Connor Warren Insurance Brokers is proud to announce its director Eamon O’Connor has been named New Zealand’s Number One Elite Broker in the 2026 Insurance Business Elite Brokers list, marking the second consecutive year he has achieved the top ranking.

The annual Elite Brokers list recognises the highest-performing insurance brokers across Australia and New Zealand following a rigorous, independently verified assessment conducted by Insurance Business’ Intelligence unit. O’Connor’s back-to-back number one ranking highlights consistent excellence across every measure — a result that reflects not only his strong commercial performance, but also O’Connor Warrens culture of collaboration, trust and client-first thinking.

The 2026 recognition comes during a softening market cycle and a period of broader economic uncertainty. Despite these challenges, O’Connor Warren has continued to achieve growth and expand its client base, underpinned by its highly regarded team. Eamon attributes the achievement as a direct result of the quality of its people that set them apart from its competitors. “This recognition belongs to our entire team,” said O’Connor. “We’ve worked hard to create a culture where our people feel supported, challenged and genuinely connected to the outcomes we deliver. Our positive environment translates directly into better advice, stronger relationships and clear results for our clients — especially when market conditions become more complex as they have.”

“Being named New Zealand’s number one Elite Broker for a second year is rewarding, but what I’m most proud of is the consistency of our people and the standards they bring to work every day.” With more than 30 years of industry experience, O’Connor Warren Insurance Brokers is a proudly New Zealand-owned firm providing tailored insurance solutions to a wide range of businesses and individuals nationwide. The brokerage is widely recognised for its specialist expertise, long-term insurer relationships and results that exceed client expectations.

This consecutive national recognition further reinforces O’Connor Warren’s position as a market leader — distinguished not only by multiple awards, but by its team that consistently deliver.
