The Nido Difference

Because no life or business is the same, at Nido we live to do things little differently. From work to play our focus is on enabling you, your family or your business to be in the moment by having us protect what matters most now and into the future.

We’ll help set the plan and path to support you, your family or your business without concern for things like accident or illness.

At Nido, we believe that personal and financial wellbeing go hand-in-hand, and that good wealth is nothing without good health. We’re passionate about the role of personal wellbeing in all areas of life, including business. As a qualified yoga teacher and former New Zealand representative football player, Nido’s Founder and Director, Onny, has introduced unique strategies and ways of working to help you get the most out of work, play and everything in between.

Combined with proven entrepreneurial expertise, growing successful businesses and building purpose-driven teams – Nido offers a unique approach that clients love. As New Zealand’s 2017 Insurance Adviser of the Year – our clients get us, because we take the time to get them – partnering with our people and building real relationships that help them succeed in all aspects of life.

Welcome to Nido. Discover the difference.

Onny – Director/Adviser

Nido was created out of my passion for two things: Taking care of the family (Kids Rio (18), Jamie (16) and Flora (13), and looking after myself, on the yoga mat. My passion for these things outside of work has driven the philosophy and agenda for what I do inside Nido.

I studied Economics in the States, and from my time abroad, developed an appreciation for planning for and protecting the things that matter – two imperatives I believe help one to get on and enjoy life. When I returned to NZ, I established my own hospitality company, and launched 4:20, Auckland’s first nightspot dedicated to hip-hop. After eight years at the helm of this exciting small business, I shifted my focus onto helping the entrepreneurial endeavours of others, with a move into insurance. Fast-forward thirteen years to the present moment, and today I continue my pursuit offering businesses and families across the country with expert insurance advice, and I love it! I understand small businesses, and when it comes to the home I know what matters most: the family.

Outside of Nido, you’ll find me teaching and practising yoga at Sweat yoga in Newmarket, playing soccer (in a former life for NZ in U17 and U20’s) and taking time out to coach kids. I also enjoy movies, music and a great book.

Insurance for me and my family has always been paramount and whatever dollar we can put aside for insurance we can, but what I appreciate about Onny and his team is that they work hard to research and make sure that the dollars we are spending are getting us what we think we need but then also balanced out with wisdom and knowledge that Onny brings to the table to make it the best it can be…..when I have needed to use my insurance Onny has only been a phone call away and had an empathy and a business approach to supporting my family – these are the reasons I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Onny and NidoInsurance as part of your future planning.

Mike Weston

Onny was a pleasure to coach and showed me how dedicated he is to giving his clients the highest standard of service. With his professional and dedicated approach I would recommend him happily to anyone looking for advice they can trust.

Kerry Swan

You know how we never seem to have enough time to really sit down and do all the research required to make sure the medical/health cover or policy we have is the best deal or to make sure it is covering everything we need? Best way I found is to leave it in Onny’s hands, he’s the expert, it’s like having your very own consultant looking after your own interests. And it’s one less thing to have to worry about!
