After nearly five decades of dedicated service in the banking industry, Craig Pettit has decided to embark on a well-deserved retirement. Craig and his wife Cindy are now shifting their focus towards travel and spending quality time with family.

As the saying goes, "as one door closes, another one opens." After careful consideration, Craig has chosen to entrust his clients to adviceHQ to ensure they continue to receive high quality service with a strong emphasis on values.


"After 15 fulfilling years as a mortgage adviser (and previously 34 years with Westpac), I believe it's time to pass the torch to another capable mortgage adviser. Allow me to introduce David Green from adviceHQ, based in Takapuna. With 25 years of invaluable experience in the financial sector, David's professionalism, personable nature, and expertise in finance, insurance, and KiwiSaver make him an excellent fit to guide you through your financial journey."

We are also pleased to have James Pettit continuing with the business as Client Manager.

We would like to welcome Craig’s valued clients to the adviceHQ family. We will continue to provide the same independent and personalised advice on mortgages you have come to trust. Now with the additional support from adviceHQ, we can also offer independent financial advice on Insurance, KiwiSaver, Business and Commercial Finance.

Feel free to reach out to adviceHQ for independent financial advice.
