Tower advises of storm impact
Tower has announced it anticipates the financial impact of the storm which affected the west coasts of the upper South Island and lower North Island to be between $2.6 million and $5.8 million after tax.
The company said the financial impact of the event had been reduced by the reinsurance programme, which limited the potential impact to $5.8 million after tax.
Tower said it had received more than 200 claims relating to the storm with CEO David Hancock saying the company had brought in extra assessors and claims staff to help.

Aon New Zealand’s new open-plan office fit-out has been recognised at the 2015 Western Architecture Awards.
Jury convenor Mike Swann said one aim of the awards was to showcase work that enhances the human spirit.
