The Nugget: Andrew Kelleher

Investment advisor Andrew Kelleher has a goal this summer. His office overlooks stunning Takapuna Beach on Auckland’s North Shore, with his house a few bays up the coast. A newly purchased paddleboard will soon be used for the morning commute to work. Andrew reckons that’s when you know you’ve made it.

Mind you, perennially sunny Andrew has always had a blue-sky view on what’s important in life.

When his now adult children were younger, the family made the decision to move to Ahipara in the Far North to escape the rat-race.

Andrew bought the local surf shop - and the mechanic’s. Then he surfed every day. Like, every day. The businesses did OK but his surfing improved out of sight.

While the lure of the big city eventually saw him return here, his love of the water remains unchanged, as President of the NZ champion, North Shore Swimming Club.

He also loves his job as Director of investment management and investment advisory business, JMIS. For him, investment advice is all about integrity, loyalty and personalised service. No wonder his clients often remain with him for life. And no wonder he’s one of our most loyal customers.

Andrew’s loved our service and classic-with-a-twist styling for years now. His current favourites include this 100% wool, navy plaid suit with red lining (The Elliot $700); our tailored lilac check dobby shirt (The Last Breeze, $120 or 3 for 3 hundy); and these Bertie black almond toe shoes (The Peanut, $230).

Yep, whether it’s in the ocean, spending time with the family or helping people build long term wealth, Andrew’s got a pretty good hold on how to create a pretty good life. Dive in and read a bit more good stuff about this good bugger.
