Akupara’s love affair with the Sunshine Coast

Ben Taylor is one of the directors of Akupara Insurance Brokers.

Our love affair with the Sunshine Coast began over a decade ago with a short holiday in Noosa that felt more like coming home than a holiday.

Two weeks later we moved the family here.

Over a decade later, the longest we have ever lived in one area, our appreciation for the unique beauty of the coast and the diverse community here has grown.

It was an early morning beach stroll sipping frappes in 2019 that we decided to fully commit to investing in the community we had come to love. Akupara was born that day.

The name Akupara comes from an ancient creation story. Akupara was the Sanskrit or Hindu name of the turtle that was said to carry the world upon its shell to protect it while was newly forming. Protecting Your World became our business mantra.

Ben’s passion for insurance and symbolic traits of the turtle aligned perfectly for his vision – strength, patience, stability, longevity, adaptability, protection, nurturing and dependability – everything you want in a dedicated insurance broker.

Of course, his 25 years of experience in the industry helps you trust he can deliver on those values.

While we service the whole of Australia, our focus has been businesses between Brisbane and Gympie. Tewantin seemed geographically central to open our first office.

We discovered an amazing business community here instead.

Everyone is friendly and welcoming which creates an inclusive and supportive environment that will no doubt help our business to thrive.
