Life moves in waves – and each one brings new risks and responsibilities. Your income changes. Your responsibilities change. Your health changes. Insurance should change with you.
Here for this wave - and the next.
Next Wave Insurance is built on one belief: life comes in waves and protection should move with you, through every rise and fall.
We help Kiwis prepare for change, choose the right protection, and navigate life’s toughest moments. With access to multiple providers and genuine claims advocacy, we create personalised, long-term insurance strategies – and stand by our clients when life takes an unexpected turn.
We’re not here to transact a policy and walk away – we’re here to stand beside you through this wave, the next, and every wave after that.
Meet Your Advisers
We’ve lived these moments personally and professionally, and we use that experience to help clients make confident decisions.
Mark Armstrong
When Mark was in his early teens, two families in his community lost their dads only months apart — one had insurance, the other didn’t. Seeing the difference between stability and struggle shaped his belief that protection truly matters. With 30 years’ experience, Mark helps clients safeguard their families with clarity and care.
Nick Blincoe
Nick’s approach to advice is shaped by lived experience. After a serious rugby injury in 2010 left his arm permanently paralysed, he saw first-hand how quickly life can change. Today, Nick helps clients protect their families and plan for the future. His lived experience drives a practical, human approach to advice.
Everything we do at NextWave is built on a foundation of trust, integrity, and care — guiding how we advise our clients, build lasting relationships.
