Auckland Firm Awarded For Trustee Excellence

Executives from NZTA present directors of GRA with Corporate Trustee of The Year Award for 2008 - Awarded April 2009

Wellington - The New Zealand Trustees Association has awarded Auckland trustee company, Cornwall Trustees Ltd (a division of Gilligan Rowe & Associates LP), the prestigious ‘2008 New Zealand Corporate Trustee of the Year’ award.
         This inaugural Ultimate Award for Corporate Trustees is judged on procedure, merit, structure, achievement and client satisfaction.
         In 2008 there were a total of 5 nominations received nationwide for the Corporate Trustee award.
         “A real strength of this Corporate Trustee is the hands-on commitment from the Directors through to clerical staff where their integrity and personal

belief in the structure and process provides the client with a high degree of security,” said Errol Anderson, Registrar NZ Trustees Association.
         Gilligan Rowe & Associates LP is a chartered accounting firm that gives a multi-discipline and holistic approach where legal, accounting and financial experts work together as a team.
         “We are delighted that we have been recognised for achieving our vision to help New Zealanders protect and grow their wealth using trusts, especially when there has been so much confusion and misinformation on this subject in recent times,” says Janet Xuccoa, Head of Trustee Services for Gilligan Rowe & Associates LP.
         “Our achievement can only help to raise the standards of our industry overall, especially as many of our clients demand robust professional service in today’s financially challenging climate.”

Testimonial

This letter is to express my appreciation for the assistance and encouragement of both Anthony Lipscombe in 2010 and particularly John Heaslip over the last financial year.

The period since activating my trading trust has been one of considerable stress, as well as personal development, as I embarked on this as a relative business neophyte with virtually no awareness of the contemporary requirements of running a business, particularly the financial records aspect. During much of this period I have therefore felt considerable out of my depth. However I have been lucky enough to have had the benefit of the advice and support of John Heaslip in rationalizing what was a fairly chaotic set of records of the first year property trading.

I am able to say that John in particular, has been unstinting in his attention to my needs and has done so in a manner which has never alluded to my extremely rudimentary grasp of managing a business, or even of being unable to set out a spread sheet properly. The result of the above guidance is that now, although my trading trust would still not be able to operate without the advice of GRA, I do least feel a sense of satisfaction that I have got to my present point without major disaster and that my property trust does now have some kind of firmer basis for any future activities
