What's in a name?
An ‘amphora’ is a clay vessel used in traditional wine making practices, providing the optimal environment for wines to ferment and age into the perfect drop.
We chose the name to reflect the core values of our business: security, reliability and growth. They also represent the 'old world' ways of doing things and we like to think we take a similar approach with our clients; building strong, long-term relationships isn't something that happens quickly.
​
Our principal Financial Advisers, Ry Stanes and John Guthrie have over 40 years combined experience in the industry, and both employ these foundational values to achieve the same goal; the optimal outcome for our clients.
