Profile


A little about myself:

Ever since my time as a management trainee I have enjoyed growing businesses.  It is like a hobby to me.

Likewise I enjoy pondering how we can grow our economy. 

I have been involved in the growth of several small businesses – either by ownership or by assisting others.

Having been a business owner I understand life from your perspective.   I understand the pressures of time and the difficulty of work – life balance. I understand the issues with employment and the difficulty of wearing many hats as a small business owner. …..  

Hence if you would like to chat about how you can grow your business it may be to your advantage to discuss this together.  Any two people are better than either one of those two people.  I am not a business coach, though I see great benefit in businesses having a business coach (see  Business Coaches under the  General tab in this website).  I will simply discuss your business with you – and maybe an idea or two will come from these discussions.  

Unfortunately I have also been through a “financial reversal” - so I am familiar with the risks of not making it too. Hence I understand those who (often through no fault of their own) have also been through the emotional and financial time of a “financial reversal”. 

For more than ten years I have been a commercial insurance broker.   Insurance is a very important part of shielding the results of your efforts.  For the reasons above I am passionate about protecting the assets you are in the process of building.    I contract (as Insurance Broker Management Limited) to a well respected and one hundred percent New Zealand owned insurance broker house.  It has several branches throughout New Zealand and is amongst the larger broker houses in New Zealand. 

Therefore I offer you a free review of your insurance – business insurance, professional insurance or life insurance.  (As a general insurance specialist I will refer you a skilled life broker for any life insurance requirements). As the Canterbury earthquakes have amply illustrated losses can – and normally do – occur without warning.  Hence it is important that we have our insurances in place before any event.  It is also important that you understand what risks you are covered for and what risks you choose to absorb yourself.  

Are you confident that you are covered for the areas of your highest risk?
