What our clients say

Hear first hand from our clients across Nelson and Tasman about how we’ve helped improve their financial future.

Spending and Investment Planning

“We decided to go with Castle Trust as they are local and they have helped us build trust and confidence in our investments and financial plan for the future. We think it really is something to deal with local experts who we respect.  One of our big successes is also getting to know the team and we know they are invested in our financial future and we value that very much. We've recommended Castle Trust to our son, our family and friends too.”

Linda & Ron, Motueka

Insurance and Saving Planning

“Castle Trust have taken a lot of the thinking out of it for us, we think the great thing is that we have a plan in place for our future. If you don’t know where to start, go to Castle Trust and get sorted - and not just for insurance, investing for kids and your retirement planning for the future. They really care”

Edee & Ryan, Brooklyn

Spending and Investment Planning

“I’ve every faith in the people at Castle Trust. For us we wanted advice on investing and spending and they have really helped. My wife is 7 years younger than me, and we needed to really look long term for our investments to make sure we could have the retirement lifestyle we wanted and something for our kids.”

Les, Nelson

Mortgage Advice - First Home Loan

“The fact that David and I were able to get the keys to our first home was thanks to the team at Castle Trust.  We had a bit of a more difficult situation with our financial set up, having expertise in the industry made it easier for us.”

Lucy, Nelson

Business Insurance and Employee Insurance

“We feel that as business owners the advice that has been given to us has been really personalised. Insurance and plans have been put in place to protect not only us but the business – if one of us had an illness or was unable to work we know it is covered. The advice we get is professional and very beneficial to us.”

Greg, Nelson

“The thing is with financial advice I think everyone needs it, we have gone to the next level and asked Castle Trust to help provide that advice to our employees, so they can plan for their retirement and be financially stable.”

Biem, Nelson

Insurance and Investment Planning

"Over dinner with friends they said it’s not about how much money you have, or the financial situation you are in right now, it is about the age and stage it would be really valuable to start mapping out what we wanted to happen with our future. Just taking time to look at insurances and investments now could open up opportunities later on – and that’s where Castle Trust have helped us – we trust their advice as they are in the same stage of life as us."

Cate, Tasman

Insurance, UK Pension and Saving Planning

“When we first went to Castle Trust we went for insurance – we had just started a family and we had to take more responsibility.  As my circumstances have changed – for example my divorce – they have helped me adapt things to suit this and they importantly have helped me to plan to save for my future.”

Fiona, Moutere

Insurance and Financial Planning Advice

“Castle Trust have really helped us improve our financial situation with a financial plan. I’ve been a client for over 15 years and the great thing is they continually update what we have to match our changing circumstances. We’ve recommended Castle Trust to our daughter and her family too.”

Reg, Motueka

Glyn and Esther at Castle Trust have presented us with a retirement plan that has given us confidence and a sense of security with our finances, as we move forward. Throughout their guidance and consultation there was always transparency, honesty and an easy to understand process. Glyn’s good humour and professional approach to tailoring our prospective plans to our personal financial situation was greatly appreciated and valued. At no stage did we feel pressured or misunderstood. The entire planning process was an enjoyable learning experience. Derek and Jan

We are so grateful to Castle Trust for helping us buy our first home. We received great advice and it was so helpful to have someone at the end of the phone to answer questions during the buying process. They were always very patient and no question was a silly question. Highly recommend!

Kathryn and the team at Castle Trust are brilliant! The first consultation was very invaluable, Kathryn took time to understand my needs and plan with money to give me the best advice. She was very knowledgeable and explained everything in a way that was super easy to understand, I immediately felt well-informed and knew I was in good hands. Their effort and communication while setting things up for me was top tiered. I'm looking forward to continue working with the team in the future!

This team of absolute legends assisted us in buying our home, mind you I shouldnt say assisted us as they did everything. We worked with Chevaun and Melanie and the process was made easy. Going forward I wouldn't hesitate to use this team again. A absolute team of superstars.

Glyn and his team have been excellent in guiding us towards a retirement that we will be able to enjoy, not just survive. I just wish we had talked to them a lot earlier in our life. Glyn will tell you how it is (not how you think it should be) in easy to understand language.

It gives us great pleasure to write a testimonial for Glynn and Esther at Castle Trust Financial Planning, We approached them in May last year for advice on investments for our retiral. From the onset,Glynn and Esther were extremely approachable and helpful and took us step by step though our financial options with weekly meetings over the month of June. Neither of us had a financial background[Don retired obstetrician and gynaecologist and Eva a Registered Nurse] Both Esther and Glynn were extremely patient with us. When we decided on a portfolio ,they took us through the investment process itself, again with patience and good humour! Nothing could have been easier! We have no hesitation in recommending them to you.

We had a great experience with Castle Trust. They took the time to understand our situation, explained everything clearly, and provided advice that felt genuinely tailored to our needs—even while we were working to some very tight deadlines. The entire team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the process. We would highly recommend their services.

The entire team at Castle Trust goes above and beyond to help anyone and everyone out. We were so supported and informed every second with our home purchase, we had been working with another top Nelson broker for 6 months and they failed to secure us our loan last minute, so we went to them and they all worked with us in a matter of 2 days, 1 night and got it all right! An incredible, hardworking team that I highly recommend to everyone seeking financial life advice and buying a home.

I have found Anna-May extremely understanding and helpful. Coping with Life Insurance as one gets older can become quite a burden and it is reassuring to have options explained and outcomes clarified. Anna-May has always been empathetic, with sound, fully informed advice.

Amazing experience dealing with Castle trust. They got us the best mortgage rates we could find and some cash back. We’ve also taken advice for investing for our children. Couldn’t be happier. Thanks Castle Trust 😊

My wife and I, and our children in Wellington and also in America, have had first class advice from Castle trust. We are delighted that we have put ourselves in their capable hands. Not only have we received very wise Financial Planning advice, (encouraging us to spend our money while we are still alive!) our investments have grown far more than the reputable company with which we had them before. We cannot recommend their services too highly. They are an excellent company.

They’ve got their financial future sorted, have you?
