Peter has been in the insurance industry his entire working life, all with AMP & Certus.  He started as a clerk at AMP Auckland straight from school.  Later, he was appointed Office Manager at AMP Rotorua, moving on to Assistant Sales Manager AMP Lower Hutt, before taking over the insurance business of a retiring Auckland AMP Adviser.  It was an invaluable start to his advising career.  That was 1984 and he is still finding the work extremely rewarding!

His area of expertise is general insurance for Domestic and Business Insurance needs.  Peter also does Life Insurance work for clients who have existing AMP life insurance policies.

What Peter loves about his job is being of service when clients’ needs change and to watch them grow and prosper. If misfortune should happen, he finds satisfaction in seeing insurance at work benefiting his customers and knows without his input, the outcome for clients or their families may not have been so good. “It’s hugely rewarding to have a large number of career–long clients too,” Peter says. Some of them he has looked after for over 30 years and many have become personal friends.

Peter is qualified as a Senior Associate of the Australia & NZ Institute of Insurance & Finance (awarded Hon. Life Member). Back in the days of his insurance exams, he won a couple of NZ insurance industry prizes for first-place exam results. This expertise and attention to detail, his clients continue to benefit from every day, which why he loves what he does.

Peter has been involved in motor racing since his teens- he was a rally driver and then a rally navigator at both regional and national levels, navigating to win a regional title.  These days he still thoroughly enjoys his motor racing, driving in a classic circuit race series in his authentic 1980’s historic Group A, Fiat race car.  “It’s far more competitive than you might think!” Peter says with a wry smile.
