Shane has guided me with all avenues when it comes to KiwiSaver and my 1st home purchase. Shane is very knowledgeable and has an excellent appreciation for your needs when it comes to your insurance!

Myself and my partner had been dreaming of landscaping our backyard for years. We requested a loan top up through multiple mortgage brokers and were turned away. We found that none of these mortgage brokers actually took the time to listen to us and appreciate our situation. We were probably too much work for them for not enough reward. My last hope was Brad Whitford from Discovery Financial Services. I made contact with him late one evening and he replied within half an hour and asked me to give him a call. Brad really listened to us and asked a lot of questions about our situation to get a very good understanding of our financial position. Brad went over and beyond to secure our loan top up when other mortgage brokers told us it was impossible. He was outstanding with his communication throughout the entire process. Thank you Brad for helping make our dream come true. I will be recommending Brad to everyone I know. 5 stars!

Our family protecting your family – that’s been our reason for being since Ron Gadsdon opened our doors in 2009. Fast forward to today - we’re a family of financial advice experts, focused on helping people in our community protect what matters and build strong financial futures.

With over 35 years’ experience in corporate insurance, in 2009 Ron decided it was time to take his knowledge and expertise, and create a financial advice business, focused on helping New Zealand families protect against the ‘what-ifs’ in life.

Since then, Discovery Financial Services has been entrusted with the insurance – and latterly, KiwiSaver – needs of over 4,000 clients.

Today, the whole Gadsdon family - Ron, Karen, Shane and Jason - complemented by the talented Bradley Whitfield – are Discovery Financial Services. And we are, simply put, committed to the good old fashioned value of putting people first. Read more about the Discovery Financial Services team here.
