Our partners

Gallagher is one of the world’s largest insurance brokerage and risk management companies, with a global network that provides services in more than 130 countries. Previously known as Crombie Lockwood in New Zealand, we have a long history of helping New Zealanders with their insurance needs. 

In New Zealand, our clients are supported by a team of dedicated FANZ broking professionals in more than 30 offices around the country. With deep roots in the communities in which we live and work, our brokers combine regional understanding with the resources and backing of our global organisation.

As the Franchise Association’s longstanding insurance broking partner, Gallagher has developed a business insurance solution specifically for franchising and FANZ members. Offering cover for a range of risks, the FANZ insurance package has added benefits and options for franchisees and Franchisors.

Waipuna Hotel and Conference Centre is one of New Zealand’s largest and most comprehensive conference facilities and is only 15 minutes from Auckland’s city-centre and the international and domestic airports. We are locally owned and operated and our profits are channelled back into our local community supporting initiatives such as local parks and playgrounds, sports fields, local education, historic places and conservation.

Meaning ‘Spring of water’ in Māori. We are set amongst 6.26 acres of beautiful parkland overlooking a picturesque saltwater lagoon. Our guests enjoy the stunning, always changing view of the tidal lagoon and can enjoy walking or cycling the pathways around the water.

We believe we have perfected the art of hosting conferences, meetings, exhibitions, product launches, seminars and special events and we work hard to ensure our guests have a memorable experience with us.

We have 148 spacious hotel accommodation options ranging from Bureau rooms to Presidential suites and 16 function spaces. The largest is a 400 seat theatre, the smallest, a boardroom.

There are few venues in New Zealand that offer such extensive conference, meeting and function facilities with wonderful hotel accommodation, in-house restaurant dining, a bar with stunning views of the lagoon, and all topped with some of the most caring service and values and free onsite car parking.

We would love you to come and experience our fabulous service, always with the utmost courtesy, at Waipuna Hotel and Conference Centre, Auckland, New Zealand.

At MTF, we don’t just understand franchising - we live it.

We’re proud to be a nationwide network of independently owned franchises operating across New Zealand. That means we know first-hand the challenges, opportunities, and drive it takes to run and grow a successful franchise. Whether it’s managing cash flow, scaling your operation, or investing in the right tools for the job, we get it - because we do it too.

Our strength lies in our model. Every MTF franchise is a locally owned and operated. This gives us a unique advantage when it comes to lending to other franchise businesses - we understand the pace, the pressure, and the potential. More importantly, we know that when finance is flexible and delivered by someone who truly gets your business, it becomes a growth enabler.

We’ve helped franchisees across a wide range of industries fund everything from vehicles and machinery to fit-outs, equipment, tech upgrades and even working capital. Whatever your business needs to move forward, there’s a good chance we’ve financed it before and a local MTF team is ready to help make it happen.
