Compassionate, Focused, Braaimaster

Dirk is inspired by anyone who aims to put others before themselves, such as Mother Teresa and Nelson Mandela. Following their example, he has dedicated himself to providing solutions for clients that would meet their expectations and offer them a degree of certainty when it comes to their financial plan in the long term.

One of Dirk’s favourite experiences with a client is when he sees them making changes in their lives and achieving things that they did not know were possible before, all through following the lifestyle financial plan that he created with their input.

In his free time, he loves being surrounded by nature and spending time with family and friends. It’s no wonder that he encourages his clients to live their dreams!

Dirk founded Client Care in 2002 and has been the driving force behind its ethos, client-centred approach, and lifestyle-oriented financial advice.

The most common question Dirk is asked by clients is, “Am I going to be ok?”, and the resounding answer from Client Care is - YES! If you work with Dirk and our team and let them guide and coach you through your financial journey, you will be ok!

Dirk believes the best thing about Client Care is making a genuine difference in people’s lives and having the opportunity to work with such a great team of like-minded individuals.

Energetic, Driven, Sports Fanatic

Alex draws inspiration from a wide variety of role models, from sporting giants such as Caster Semenya and Jan Frodeno, to former FNB Ceo Michael Jordaan, and space expert Dr Adriana Marais. With such a dynamic pool of examples to draw from, it’s easy to see where his energy and drive come from!

His favourite moments with clients are the times when he is helping someone who feels self-conscious about how little money they have, but still want to do the right thing financially. In these moments, Alex feels like he is truly adding value to clients by teaching them how to make the right financial decisions and work with what they do have in order to reach their lifestyle goals.

In true sports-fanatic style, he can usually be found running, cycling, playing soccer or rugby, during his free time. Alex also enjoys reading to expand his knowledge base.

Alex often gets asked by clients, “Is Dirk on holiday again?” and, well, the answer is usually yes because Dirk is living his dreams! (You can too, just ask us how.)

For Alex, the best thing about working at Client Care is knowing that we make a difference in every client’s life.

Caring, Passionate, Beach-lover

Catherine is inspired by Simon Sinek, who, in 2009, published his now-famous book Start With Why which encouraged its readers to identify their purpose and core beliefs. Purpose resonates deeply with everyone at Client Care as we push for a financial advice firm that is focused on clients and their lifestyle goals first and financials as a means to that end.

True to her caring nature, Catherine is always there to offer comfort to clients during a tough stage, but her favourite moments are the tears of joy that follow when the eventual outcome is positive.

She is a true beach-lover, often spending weekends fishing and socialising with family along our beautiful coastline.

Catherine has worked at Client Care since 2014 and often gets asked by clients whether she enjoys the industry, to which she answers “Absolutely!” as it affords her the opportunity to interact with people and provide real value. She believes the best thing about working at Client Care is the passion that everyone has for helping clients live their dreams.

Optimistic, Organised, Traveller

Desmond Tutu’s ethos of doing “your little bit of good where you are” resonates deeply with Lynda. This simple idea is what gets her excited about Client Care - the drive to help when and where you can. Lynda’s role is more behind-the-scenes as she handles all the accounting and acts as the liaison with Investec Bank, but she enjoys meeting new clients and sharing the lifestyle financial planning process with them.

In her spare time, she can usually be found outdoors, climbing mountains, walking long distances, or enjoying the sea - she’s a bit of an endurance junkie!

Lynda has been with Client Care since 2008 and believes the firm ticks all the boxes of the Three A’s - attitude, atmosphere, and availability.

Thoughtful, Team-player, Creative

Zoe has been with Client Care since 2015. She is inspired by people who have made changes to their lifestyle in order to achieve things that they thought were not possible! So, she is a great fit for Client Care, where our daily aim is to help our clients reach their lifestyle goals.

Some of Zoe’s favourite moments with clients include hearing about future plans and all of the adventures that they were able to experience through working with Client Care.

She loves the outdoors, often spending time by the pool or in the garden at home. Zoe also enjoys going for runs along the beautiful Port Elizabeth beachfront. When she’s not outside, she often spends her free time baking and with handcrafts.

Zoe enjoys working at Client Care because of the friendly, welcoming environment and being able to work with wonderful, inspiring clients.
