David Riddell - CM Financial Adviser

29 years ago I got on a train to embark on the best 17 years of my life in the Royal Air Force and the Royal New Zealand Air Force. Amazing adventures with incredible people that shaped the man that I've become. Here's to those who went before me, those who served beside me and those who are at the very beginning of the best time's of their lives. Per Ardua Ad Astra.

My medals are polished.

Not for me—but for those who went before, those who stood beside me, those yet to walk this path… and those who never made it home.

We left our families to protect yours.

We remember them. Always.

I’ve got exciting news — PPS Mutual has arrived in New Zealand, and I’m one of the few accredited advisers able to offer their exclusive range of products.

PPS Mutual isn’t your typical life insurer. It’s a mutual owned for the benefit of its members, not external shareholders — meaning decisions are made with your long‑term interests at heart.
With over 80 years of heritage and 160,000+ members across South Africa and Australia, PPS has built a global reputation for supporting professionals.

One of its biggest advantages? The Profit Share Benefit — a unique way members can share in the company’s success through annual allocations. It’s genuine mutual value in action.

PPS Mutual offers smart, professional‑grade cover: Life, Income Protection, Trauma, TPD, Terminal Illness and Key Person — available only through independent advisers like me.

If you’re a professional looking for a smarter, more rewarding protection solution, let’s talk.

Keen to explore whether PPS Mutual could be the right fit? Just let me know.

Same great team, same great service!

Cole Murray Financial Advisers are becoming CM Financial Advisers from 1 April 2026.

Just as it has always been, what gets our team out of bed every morning is helping people with the things that matter to them. Whether it is buying your first home, protecting your family, getting your business off the ground, or investing in your future, we can support you with all these and everything in between.

Same team, same service.

We will be rolling out the new brand over the coming months.
