Amanda Whiting, chief executive of IAG New Zealand, has been appointed as the organisation’s new president and Adam Heath, chief executive of Farmers Mutual Group (FMG) has been appointed as the vice-president.

The ICNZ is a representative body which was established in 1895 to represent fire and general insurance companies.

“I want to acknowledge the valuable contribution Toni Ferrier made during her term as president and wish her success in her new role,” Whiting concludes.
