Get to know Beth Marshall

Here at Chubb Life, we’re on a mission to protect the financial futures of New Zealanders and their loved ones. This month get to know Beth Marshall and find out how she helps make it easy for employers to protect their employees’ financial futures with our Group Insurance offering.

1. What’s your role at Chubb Life and what does a typical workday look like for you?

I’m Chubb Life’s Senior Group Partnership Manager based in Christchurch. My days are often spent travelling around New Zealand to support Advisers who write Group Business with us or are looking to expand their practice and start doing so. I also work closely with our Chubb Life Group Operations team and our Business Partnership Managers to ensure we’re bringing you the best possible service experience. 

2. What’s your background and how did you get into the Group Insurance space?

I’ve worked in Financial Services for more than 25 years for a number of different insurance companies and in a range of roles. I landed in the Group Insurance space 12 years ago, spending 10 years at Southern Cross managing their Distribution Sales (Business to Business and Business to Employee) as well as their Service teams. I then spent one year working with a wonderfully talented Group Specialist Adviser before taking up this exciting role at Chubb Life a year ago.  

3. What do you enjoy most about working in Group Insurance? 

I enjoy working in Group Insurance because I feel it gets valuable insurance solutions to New Zealanders who might not otherwise have any insurance in place. It’s a great way for employers to attract and retain talent by offering a blanket of financial security. 

It fills my cup when I see our products come into play. There’s nothing better than being able to provide an employer peace of mind that they’ve done all they can to support their employees and their families during often unpleasant and difficult times.

4. Why should Kiwi businesses choose Chubb Life for their Group Insurance? 

There are many reasons but I think our service standards are worth noting in particular. I often hear from Advisers and have seen in action the incredible service our Group Admin, Claims and Underwriting teams provide.

5. What’s the most exciting thing going on in the Chubb Life Group Insurance space at the moment?

The most exciting thing is that there isn’t just one thing going on – we’re always looking for new ways to add value for the employers and their employees who choose to have their Employee Benefit scheme with us.  Our most recent enhancement is the introduction of Group Client Benefits and we have a number of other projects in the works.

6. What are you watching on TV right now? 

The shows I enjoy and will always binge on are Clarkson’s Farm and Formula 1 – Drive to Survive – however I’m always looking for new recommendations. 

7. What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

I live on a lifestyle block with three horses, so my weekends are always full of outdoor activities. When I’m not being farmer Beth in my gummies, I can be found travelling, listening to music or hanging out with friends and family. It’s important to me to be present and kind, so I regularly practice mindfulness.
