Level 4 - Here to Help

We hope you are all doing well after completing the first official day in lockdown, our thoughts today go out to all New Zealanders effected by COVID – 19.

Despite the current uncertainty, there are many things we can be positive about. New Zealand is responding strongly and pro-actively to the threat posed by COVID-19 – and we now have a chance to get ahead of the virus and stop its spread if we all do our part.

We emailed you yesterday, however we thought we would touch base again as we have moved from Level 3 – Restrict, to Level 4 – Eliminate, and our new normal for the next four weeks is going to bring some challenges for everyone.

We are focusing our efforts to support you, our valued clients so you can navigate the uncertainty and rapidly changing financial landscape in New Zealand and around the world as a result of COVID-19.

Dean’s produced this little video to reach out to our community, clients, staff, and family members to say that we are here to help – give us a call.

If you, your family member a colleague or friend is going through a tough time give them our details and we will take the call – We are all in this together.
