Built on quality:
The story of Assurity
On a snowy weekend in 2005 at Nelson Lakes, Garth Hamilton and Darren McTigue had a revelation: nearly everything about software delivery could be improved – from how quality was handled, to how clients were engaged, to the trust (or lack of it) between teams.
They believed there had to be a better way. Within 24 hours, they mapped one out – a company grounded in clarity, trust, and professionalism.
That company became Assurity. And nearly 20 years later, the mission still holds: build the right thing, and build it right.
