The Gisborne team will bring together local knowledge, established relationships and extensive investment experience, the company says.

The team includes Adam Lynch, who has been with Craigs for nearly 10 years and Tamaaio Edwards, who has been a Private Wealth Assistant at Craigs.

Camron Brugh, also has been with ForBar in Auckland is involved and William Waite will support the team from Auckland.

Forsyth Barr Managing Director Wealth Management Ian Hankins says, “the most important part of opening any new branch is the people in it. We have taken the time to recruit the right people, and we are delighted with the calibre of the team we have brought together."

The new branch, ForBar's 27th, also reflects the company's confidence in its business and its long-term commitment to maintaining a physical presence across New Zealand.

“At a time when many organisations are centralising or reducing their physical presence, we continue to see real value in investing in people, relationships and communities throughout New Zealand,” Hankins says.
