Craig Smith
Founder & Managing Director · Principal Adviser

Craig founded Smiths and still runs the practice as Managing Director and Principal Adviser. More than forty years in the industry means he has watched products, insurers and the rules around advice change many times over, and he knows the products inside out.
He is a very personal adviser. Craig is always keen to help, still likes picking up the phone himself, and is the reason many long-standing clients still deal with the same adviser who wrote their first policy. He has seen Smiths clients through the Christchurch earthquakes, the rebuild and the claims since.
He holds the NZ Certificate in Financial Services (Level 5), covering life, disability and health insurance, general insurance and investments. Above all, he is someone you can feel comfortable having in your corner.
