Simon has experience working with advisers across New Zealand and currently looks after those in the deep South including Otago, Southland, Mid and South Canterbury. Whether he’s on-boarding and helping them with their product knowledge, providing training or guidance on sales techniques and people management, Simon is genuinely motivated and passionate about looking out for the advisers he works alongside, as well as their customers and businesses. He credits this as his main purpose and what he enjoys most about his role, not to mention the sheer variety of industry professionals and businesses that he regularly interacts with.
