Our Team

The Hallam Jones team has been providing insurance and financial servcies in the Bay of Plenty, South Waikato area since 1976.

Mark Jones

Director
Principal Adviser

I started working in the family business in 1999, after working as an assistant winemaker, bar tender, cellar master and a tennis coach. When Hallam passed away in 2007, I stepped up as principal of the company.

My wife, Debbie, and our four children, Joe, Anna, Thomas and Matthew, enjoy getting out into the natural outdoors of New Zealand by going hunting, fishing, diving and tramping. I also enjoy growing roses and as many veggies as I can.

A disclosure statement is available free upon request.

Barbara Jones

Director

Interests in the early days included riding horses, overseas travel, badminton and tennis.

With family came tennis, fishing, boating, camping, tramping... and following the children in their respective sports of swimming, netball, hockey, soccer, rugby and tennis.

Nowadays it is all about family, travelling to visit children and grandchildren overseas, as well as business activities and keeping up with friends and clients.

I have lived in Rotorua all my life and enjoy meeting people.

Member of Spectrum Club (ladies club) since 1981 and secretary for three years. Coached at Swimming Club for 12 years and taught babies Learn to Swim (0 to 5 years) for three years.

Michael Dent

Insurance Adviser

FSP1000381

I grew up in a farming community in the Mid North where I learnt not only the value of a good work ethic but also to have a pragmatic view on what was going on around me. After finishing a 12 month return of service to the electrical contracting company that I did my apprenticeship with, I set off to see the world, starting with NZ.

After a short period in Tauranga, I travelled to Rotorua where I put down roots and have lived since. After a variety of employment, my wife Cathy and I started our own business and 24yrs later, I decided that a career change was in order, and joined the team at Hallam Jones. Here,I have gained accreditation in the Life/Health insurance sector (Level 5) and a Diploma in Financial Services from Massey University, that I have leveraged into accreditation with New Zealand’s leading banks, 2nd tier lenders and specialist Asset Finance lenders.

When not working, I enjoy the outdoors, chase a little white ball all over a golf course and beyond, relaxing with a good book and spending time with our growing family as they spread their wings and take on the world.

I have been working with Financial Advisers for 7 years as an administrator and in the last year have become the Compliance Officer at Hallam Jones.

I have a Diploma in Business Management from NMIT, along with AML/CFT training and training in other Compliance areas required for Financial Advisers. This allows me to support the business and help insure it meets the Financial Markets Authorities standards.

I hale from Blenheim with a background in customer service. I started as a Financial Administrator in Wellington, working there for two years before moving to Rotorua and joining the team at Hallam Jones.
