COVID-19 update - We are open!!
As a result of the announcement that New Zealand will be entering Level 2 this week, we are pleased to advise that our office will be back open to the public from Thursday 9am onwards.
We ask that all clients entering our office maintain at least a 1m distance from our staff and each other, and that you sanitise your hands on arrival (hand sanitiser will be available at the front desk).
This means that we can now resume face-to-face consultations with clients in person, and we can therefore take appointments for meetings with our advisers as normal. However, for anyone who wishes to continue social distancing as much as possible, we are still offering online Skype and Zoom meetings in addition to physical meetings. This option will be given to all clients upon booking, so please just let us know which option you prefer and we will be happy to accommodate your preference.
Thank you all for your continued support and we hope to see some of you this Thursday.
