I have over 27 years of international experience in banking and financial services, having worked in London, Sydney and here in New Zealand. I’m an Authorised Financial Adviser (AFA) and have been with ASB bank for four years - working on the North Shore and overseeing many of the main branches there.

I enjoy developing good, ongoing relationships with my clients and love helping them implement long term plans to achieve their future financial goals. Something I find really important is being able to explain investment concepts in plain, easy-to-understand terms. The ability to do this has seen me nominated for the ASB Investment Adviser of the year three times and winning it once.

Outside of work I’m a sports enthusiast and enjoy football, tennis and swimming.

I am a Wealth Manager looking after customers in the West Auckland Region. I joined ASB in 2005 and have been in this role since 2007. I am an Accredited Financial Adviser (AFA) and hold qualifications including a Bachelor of Commerce and Administrations (majoring in Finance, Commercial Law and Accounting – Victoria University), Graduate Diploma in Business Studies (endorsed in Personal Financial Planning) and a Post Graduate Diploma in Professional Accounting.

Most of us have some idea of what we want in life, but there are very few of us who can honestly say they have sat down and worked out how to get there. My passion lies in helping clients find their dreams, and working with them to create a plan of solutions to achieve these dreams. My solutions are flexible and can be adjusted as your financial needs adjust throughout your life.

When I am not at work I am kept on my feet chasing my two young children, and it is great fun seeing them learn and grow.

I’ve been a financial adviser for 16 years. Most of this time was spent in London as a Wealth Manager, but in 2009 I decided to move my young family here to beautiful New Zealand – that’s when I joined ASB.

I’m an Authorised Financial Adviser and the thing I love about my job is that through building ongoing relationships with my clients, I’m able to see the results of my advice further down the line. Seeing them achieve their goals gives me a massive boost and keeps me eager to help others too.

When I’m not at work there’s more than enough to keep me busy. I’m a keen traveller, family man and I enjoy sports too.

My name is Jeremy and I’ve enjoyed the privilege of sculpting my customers' financial portfolios over the past 15 years. During that time, I’ve also worked overseas giving me a good understanding of other markets. I’m an AFA (Authorised Financial Adviser) so my clients have the peace of mind that I will always work with integrity, bringing real value to every relationship.

I've worked with clients in their 30's, and my oldest customer is 95 years old – so I can identify with different needs and goals across various life stages. This variety of personal and financial circumstances has helped me build a wealth of experience. But every client is different so I work tirelessly to understand their needs before making any recommendations.

Working at ASB, I'm fortunate to have experts across all the various asset classes who can help create the best asset mix for each client based on their attitude to risk. We also have an amazing plan writing and account management team that rounds off the on-going support.

Carmel and I have three children and we are passionate about the outdoors, and most weekends are taken up by lots and lots of sport!

I’ve worked in the financial services industry for 19 years. After being a loyal and satisfied ASB customer for seven years, I was delighted to be able to join the team here a little over two years ago. As an Authorised Financial Adviser (AFA) I now get to work with ASB customers every day and I love helping people create the future they want. I believe my main skill is identifying what people actually want to achieve in the future. I also love helping them map out a plan to make it happen.

Outside of work, my three teenagers occupy most of my time. Music and sport both play a big part of their lives, so I’m often travelling around supporting them in their dreams too.
