Barry Wilcox

Barry Wilcox

Financial Mentor

I have been a Financial Mentor since 2010 and it gives me satisfaction in assisting clients to better their financial position. Every client is different and so is the solution – these can include an Insolvency option, contacting creditors to re- negotiate payments, completing budgets, Kwisaver hardship withdrawals and many others.

Prior to becoming a Financial Mentor, I had 38 years banking experience and I feel this background assists me in dealing with clients.

Outside of work my interests include outdoor bowling and enjoying time with our grandchildren.
