About Us

Village 360 Financial Services Limited, Formerly ASK4 Financial Services was established in 2004 by Ed and Claire Aitken as a life protection and investment management business. The core focus of the business is to represent the best interests of it’s clients at all times. Communication, confidentiality, discretion and professionalism sit at the heart of the business and will continue to do so into the future.

A note from Claire:

"We operate in what is a relatively small market. Our reputation risk, along with any other business operating in New Zealand is enormous in comparison to other countries such as the UK. Our core values, combined with the solid relationships that we have established with clients will stand us in good stead for long haul. We’re always keen to talk to new prospective new clients regardless of their background or financial position.
Our background gives us strong synergies with our clients, especially those who have migrated or are in the process of migrating to NZ, those with young families and those who own small to medium sized businesses".

Claire has 20 years experience in the financial services industry having formerly worked as a senior treasury analyst for a leading UK pharmaceutical company. Since arriving in New Zealand in 2003, her time has principally been divided between V360 and family commitments. Claire is a member of the Professional Advisers Association.

Ed, although a director of the business is not currently involved directly with day to day operations or with the provision of advice.
