NIB'S purchase of NDIS plan manager Maple Plan is the start of an expansion into the disability sector, says the managing director of Newcastle's stock exchange-listed private health insurer
In an interview with the Newcastle Herald on Friday in which he explained the company's thinking in buying the Melbourne-based firm, Mr Fitzgibbon said Maple Plan would continue to trade under its existing name for the time being, but the plan was for it - and the other planning companies NIB intended to buy - to be eventually rebranded under the moniker NIB Thrive.
