Testimonials

Don’t just take it from me.

“I got to know John whilst working with him in developing his company’s brand principles to strengthen the emotional connectedness with his clients. During this period, I gained a deep understanding of John’s ethics and strong desire to help people both through the good times and the bad times.
His strongest desire is to make a tangible difference for his clients and future generations of their family. John has a strong sense of family, he believes strongly in wanting to contribute back to the community.
I can honestly say I have not met a financial adviser where money is not the financial driver for him, it’s much more personal, it’s about making a difference. I’d recommend anyone who wants certainty in their financial investments talk to John.”

“Choosing someone to look after your money is an important decision especially if you are like me and have no idea about investments.

When I left my marriage I had money from the sale of the house. As I was now on my own financially I understood that I needed to ensure that not only was my money going to be safe but would also be working for my future.

I met with a few financial advisers but none of them really instilled me with confidence. I was feeling a bit lost and frightened about making the wrong decision.

Then I met John Milner. I had checked him out online and discovered he is one of the best qualified and most successful advisers in New Zealand so I was keen to meet him. It was the most valuable meeting I have ever had. John is easy to talk to and he has a really practical approach to investment. He really listens to your fears and also what you think you need. He tailors your plan to suit your life not a general one size fits all approach.

He understood that now I am living on my own I would need to access my money if anything unexpected happened. He has become a trusted adviser and a great friend. He has never made me feel failure when I have needed to access my money and he is earning me way more than I would in a bank.

I know that the systems he has put in place keep my money safe so I can live my new life secure in the knowledge that John has my back.

If you have money from an inheritance, sale of a house or business or savings talk to John. Life is uncertain enough at the moment so make the wise choice and let John help you achieve your financial goals.”
