AVRIL ROUP
Hello there! I’m Avril, and I wear many hats – widow, devoted mom to two wonderful sons, and doting fur-parent to two adorable four-legged companions. When I’m not enjoying the tranquility of nature walks, you might just spot me strolling through shopping centers, because who doesn’t love a bit of retail therapy?
Now, let’s talk business. I’m passionate about demystifying financial jargon and ensuring that everyone I work with truly understands their options. Whether you’re young and newly employed navigating budgeting woes or an experienced soul looking for the right cover, I’ve got your back. From life cover to medical aid (and gap cover), investments to short-term insurance, I’ve got the know-how to guide you through it all.
And hey, if you ever find yourself needing to file a claim – whether it’s for life, medical aid, or short-term needs – I’m here to make the process as smooth as possible. Get in touch, and let’s start securing your financial future together!
