Nigel Avery

Nigel Avery

Mortgage Adviser

I am based in sunny Hawke’s Bay and live just southwest of Havelock North.

After training as an accountant I worked in large corporates and family companies in accounting, sales and senior management roles. I enjoy problem solving and will use these business skills to help people achieve their financial goals.

I believe that I can ‘see the woods from the trees’ and can offer real world experience and jargon free assistance and advice.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my wife and our three daughters hiking, camping and shooting hoops. I also take time out hunting and fishing with friends.
