Who we are

Hi I’m Andrew, a managing partner here at Opes. Ever since we started the company, I’ve spent my time working between our three offices, and out with clients, getting them excited about investing. I bought my first property at age 19, and built my own portfolio with what my friends describe as my signature “passion, drive, and refusal to quit.” I love helping ordinary Kiwis and seeing their lives transform as property helps them realise their dreams – for me this is the best job in the world. I don’t have a lot of spare time, but I love to spend it socialising with friends and family. I’m a keen art collector – one of my most interesting pieces is a taxidermy sculpture from a Lyttelton artist who merged a Lynx cat and goat to create a mythical beast.

Hey, I’m Ollie. I’m the general manager, which means I’m building relationships with professionals and organisations in the property industry, so we can open up more opportunities for our clients to build wealth. Living through the earthquakes in Christchurch, I saw firsthand how disasters and changes to the socio-economic landscape can wreak havoc on families who haven’t secured their financial future. Because of this, I’m passionate about helping kiwis build a positive future through investing. When I’m not working, you’ll find me running in the porthills, exploring the culinary offerings of Christchurch, or spending time at my family’s Central Otago farm.

Hi, I’m Candice. I’m the client services manager, which means I do client reviews, manage the diaries, make the travel arrangements, and do all the other tasks that keep Opes Partners ticking along. I love my job because it’s fast paced, I’m working with fascinating people in an industry I’m passionate about, and no two days are the same. I’ve been interested in property from a young age, and spent ten years in commercial property finance, learning everything I could about property and business. I also love traveling and spending time with family and friends – especially if it involves enjoying time outdoors. Candice is now back from Sabbatical and has promised to never leave us again.

Hi, I’m Dennis. As a property investment consultant, I’m the initial step for clients wanting to buy their first investment property. I love to meet people and help them understand how the investment process works. I thrive on working with people to improve their lives, and the Opes principle of thinking long-term matches my own values. I’m pretty keen on sports and enjoying this beautiful country, on weekends you’ll usually find me at the gym, out fishing, or trying not to wipe out on my longboard!

Hi, I'm Aimee. I am a personal assistant here at Opes Partners. I work with the Directors to make sure their day is organised and runs smoothly. I’m all about customer care and ensuring their overall experience with Opes is an enjoyable one. I love the continuing challenge working within the property industry and the push to learn more every day. In my spare time I love being with my family and dog Pacino. I also love traveling the world and taking in other cultures.

Hi I’m Brad. I’m a property investment consultant at Opes Partners. I’ve spent the last 10 years becoming a professional within the financial services industry to ensure the best recommendations for my clients. An average day for me is spent reviewing client’s files and making sure I have matched the best options for their investment. As much as I enjoy meeting new clients and assisting in their new investment strategy I really get the most kick when my clients come back for further development to their portfolio, choosing properties that work with their desired property goals. Since buying my first home at 23 I have had a natural drive and passion for property. My spare time is spent on wellness and in the outdoors, plus spending time exploring all the best foodie spots around New Zealand.
