Plan your retirement with confidence – Grafton

Beginning to think about your retirement can be both exciting and challenging.

Whether you’re just curious, have started planning or you already know when you’ll finish work, our upcoming seminar is for you. Hosted by our team of retirement experts, it will answer some of the big questions around setting yourself up for financial success in retirement.

Find out:

  • Is my super on track for retirement? If not, how can you build your super balance
  • how you can keep your super balance invested (and growing!) while receiving a tax-free income in retirement
  • how to use super and the Age Pension together to maximise your income each week.

Available to members and non-members, this seminar is free to attend and designed to help you start planning your retirement with confidence.

Andrew Jewell - First Super Executive Manager, Financial Advice and Education

Executive Manager, Financial Advice and Education

More about Andrew

Building on a successful career in the finance sector, Andrew followed his passion for meeting people by moving into financial advice. Andrew is driven by wanting to help people, especially when it comes to finances.

Andrew enjoys taking complex subjects like superannuation and breaking them down into bite-sized, relatable examples for members. He says, “Nothing beats the satisfaction of watching a member understand a financial concept or strategy, and making a difference to their life, it’s extremely rewarding”.

Andrew enjoys the flexibility of super and the way it can be adapted to meet member needs. He likes to guide his members through each of life’s stages showing them how their super and financial management needs can be adapted as their circumstances change; from the first stages of their working career, expanding their family, the empty-nest stage and of course, arguably the best part, retirement.

He is a firm believer that you don’t need to have a large retirement balance to seek advice. Financial advice can change the lives of members with even the smallest balances. The key to a successful partnership with clients is to listen. He believes it’s an honour to have members share their lives with you, and it’s important to share something with them too.

In his downtime Andrew enjoys spending time with family and friends, going to gigs, jamming with his bass guitar and playing football (soccer). In fact, Andrew started a successful soccer club in a small ‘league and rugby-only’ town in regional NSW. In the first summer, the club had over 400 children register to play.

The club grew exponentially to accommodate many children, teen and adult teams who competed in NSW and ACT. To honour his contribution to his community, Andrew was presented with an Australia Day Community Award, by the lead singer of Ice House, Iva Davies!

What our members have to say about Andrew

“We find Andrew to be so helpful. He always takes the time to explain things to us. He follows through and keeps us informed, he is highly regarded by us and a wonderful representative for First Super.” 

“We found Andrew very easy to talk to and he explained things so we could understand what it was all about. Very happy with his service.”

“We both found Andrew to be very professional, reliable and informative and would highly recommend him to others.”

“Andrew is very professional with clear easy to understand explanations as well as a great caring person!”
