The Hesselink name has been part of downtown Drayton for over 60 years, but that’s about to change as after 25 years as a financial planner, Ab Hesselink has decided to retire.
“The industry has changed dramatically but that being said, some of the simple things have remained the same,” said Hesselink.
“I have never taken for granted the relationships I’ve been able to experience with my clients.”
“The trust given me over the years confirms the reason I first got into this business. From day one, I had the ambition and drive to help people become more financially successful and to help educate those willing to listen,” Hesselink reflects.
“My life has been filled with many joyous moments as well as much heart ache, but this is what is intended to make us better and stronger people.”
“While I will miss the industry, this is yet another chapter in my life that I am looking forward to sharing with my wife Bonnie, who has been my rock through every phase of my journey in the past, present and future.”
“We will continue to relish in the thoughtfulness and the true friendships that have been created over the years.”
“For this we are very grateful.”
In order to step aside completely, Hesselink is selling the remainder of the business to his partner of 10 years and friend Jason Jack.
“I would not be retiring if I didn’t have 100 per cent confidence in Jason and Cathy. We have been planning this for 10 years,” said Hesselink.
“I’m confident that our clients and the community will still be able to receive the best independent financial advice.”
