Autosure has marked the long service of 15 of its 45 staff who have been with the business for more than a decade.

While some of those employees have just passed the 10-year milestone, Diana Johnstone has notched up 30 years with the insurance company.

James Searle, chief executive officer, was also among staff to be recognised for their years of commitment.

The others were Sharon Fry, Brigitte Solea, Wayne Hynes, Beverley Zuyl-Louw, Steve White, Bruce Davidson, Jason Cooper, Audrey Wikiriwhi, Suyesh Patel, Narendra Govind, Carl Atkins, Peter Leutenegger and Brad Prentice.

“We're very proud of the longevity in our team here at Autosure,” explains Searle. 

“The extensive experience within our business has significantly shaped our culture and been key in building strong relationships with our business partners. 

“This list includes people from our sales, claims and customer services teams as well as several from our management team – even me.”

A post on LinkedIn says the “deep experience” of the 15 staff who have been working at Autosure for a decade or more is the foundation of its success.

“In the past two years, we’ve also welcomed nine new faces – bringing fresh perspectives, energy and innovative ideas,” it adds.

“It’s this powerful blend of long-standing expertise and new talent that keeps us growing, evolving and delivering our best every day.”
