Ross Campbell

Ross is an Authorised Financial Adviser specialising in the area of Business Commercial Insurance and Asset Protection insurance, what we call “Fire and General”. He deals predominantly with small to medium business enterprises and provides this service to our clients. Ross’s qualifications and experiences are both impressive as they are extensive.

While Ross is proud of his many achievements within the insurance industry, it is his twenty years of business experience that are his greatest asset. Learning new things is a passion for Ross. He understands that you learn most when you’re fully engaged with real clients, facing real problems. You can learn a lot from studying, but when combined with getting your hands dirty, it is just different. He knows that experience gives you an advantage.

Ross has previously been a retailer, an importer and wholesaler of goods across NZ, worked as an Electrical Tradesmen and in the Automotive Industry. This experience gained over 30 years allows Ross to understand and appreciate where a business might be exposed to risks.

Ross and his wife Jan live locally in Rangiora, having recently moved here from down south. Ross and Jan have grown up children who have now “flown the coop”. Like the rest of the team here at PPNZL, Ross loves his golf and, to be fair, he’s not a bad player. This seems to be a common trait here in the offices of PPNZL.
