Mike Dalley

I started in the life insurance industry way back in 1985 as a Trainee Insurance Cadet. After completing my Apprenticeship with a well-rounded skill set I ventured overseas to grow as a person on my first OE. Following a short stint back in NZ to complete tertiary studies I returned to the UK to gather valuable experience with large insurers in London and Edinburgh. Then returned to NZ after nearly 5 years, where I developed my customer service skills in the sports industry before starting with Southern Cross in 2006. There I worked as a sales consultant in the group health space developing a whole new set of skills, before starting as a Financial Adviser with AMP and Certus Financial Group in 2009. Following 16 years of working with a great team at Certus I have now joined an exciting new team based in West Auckland.

With around 20 years’ experience of providing advice to Kiwi Mum’s and Dads as well as Businesses, I now understand the industry and can provide the best possible advice to my customers.

I specialise in Life, Disability and Health Insurances for Mums and Dads, as well as Business Insurances and Group Insurances for small and large Businesses. I also have a background in Group Superannuation and KiwiSaver and look forward to returning to that space in 2026.

I hold a National Certificate in Financial Services Certificate (level 5) and maintain a current practicing certificate through regular training; it’s important to keep this up to date in a well-regulated industry.

I’m very keen on the outdoors with an extensive sporting and adventure background. So, I spend a lot of my spare time out on the water, on my bike, or off-road camping with my wife when I get the chance.
