Born and raised in Christchurch, Andrew recently returned home to New Zealand after spending time overseas, choosing to settle in the Nelson Tasman region and continue a career dedicated to supporting the financial wellbeing of regional communities.

Before joining NBS, Andrew worked in regional Australia, helping individuals, families and businesses achieve their financial goals. The move back to the South Island provided an opportunity to continue this rewarding work while contributing to the communities that make the region such a special place to live and work.

A strong supporter of community development, Andrew values NBS' commitment to giving back through sponsorships and partnerships with a wide range of local organisations, from sporting clubs to arts and community groups. They believe these investments play an important role in helping communities thrive.

"The commitment to the financial wellbeing of the local community is evident in every aspect of the organisation."

For Andrew, the most rewarding part of banking is helping people improve their financial wellbeing, whether that's saving for the future, purchasing their first home, upgrading an existing property, or starting and growing a business.

Outside of work, he enjoys exploring New Zealand's walking tracks and tackling renovation projects. He also loves travelling overseas, discovering new restaurants, and spending time with family and friends exploring the West Coast.
