"I like creating on-going relationships with my clients and, through that, finding out their needs and goals for the future. I find knowing there is someone who knows them on a personal level and is looking out for their interests helps give them peace of mind for themselves and their families".

With a passion for helping people, Amanda’s experience comes from seven years in the trustee industry moving from her roles in customer care to Advisor and then Trust Manager.
