Meet the Team
Experienced staff here to serve you.
Scott Kilworth
Insurance and investment is in the blood with the Kilworths. Scott followed in his father’s footsteps and joined the industry following a successful stint in the automotive industry. He picked up on the ins and outs pretty quickly and became one of New Zealand’s top advisers.
Scott’s wealth of experience in both insurance and wealth management has served his clients extremely well over the years, matching the best solution to their specific situation. His product knowledge and sociable approach mean that he is one of the best for you to partner with.
Scott has four children so is kept busy with all of their activities, and has a close interest in rugby – having played in South Africa in his (much) younger years.

After University, James briefly lived in Europe before returning to Wellington. 17 years after leaving he has now returned to Ashburton with his wife Rebecca and three children Fletcher, Amelia and Mason. James is loving being back in Mid Canterbury and reconnecting with friends, while meeting many new people. James is passionate about helping people with their insurances and is always wanting to get the best outcome for our clients.
James has gained his level 5 qualifications as a Financial Advisor and is primarily dealing in personal insurance (Life, Disability and Health/Medical insurance) for individuals, families, businesses and group schemes.

Angela Chaffey
Angela Chaffey
Office Administrator
Angela has been part of Team Kilworths for almost ten years now, and we can’t imagine the office without her. With a wealth of experience in medical insurance and administration, Ange tackles any situation with a friendly approach and gets results every time. Angela is also kept busy with her two teenage sons, and a family farming operation near Rakaia.
Having worked in the print industry before, it’s safe to say Angela strives under pressure. Working to deadlines and workflow needs across a number of clients comes second nature to her. Someone who loves to help out wherever she can, it’s the satisfaction that comes from lending a hand that motivates Angela every day.
