Our team

I joined AMP City Financial Services (AMP City) in April 2017 having retired from a professional cricket career of 20 years, and became a director in 2020.

My career in cricket began at Northern Districts Cricket Association in 1998, before playing for New Zealand from 2001-2007. Following this I moved to the UK permanently to play for Gloucestershire County Cricket Club where I finished in September 2016. I moved my family back to Wellington, New Zealand to pursue an opportunity with AMP City as an insurance and investment adviser, as well as represent the Wellington Firebirds.

I specialise in personal and business risk insurance. This includes advice in the areas of life, trauma, and disability insurances; income protection insurance; home, contents, motor, and watercraft insurance, and business and liability insurance.

Appointed as a Director of Wellington City Financial Services (trading as AMP City Financial Services) in 2005 (retiring as a director in 2020), John’s role within AMP City is continuing with what he has been succeeding at for over 20 years; taking care of his clients’ insurance requirements.  John is a strong believer in “honesty, integrity and service.” John is Wellington born and bred, married with three children and has lived in the Eastern Suburbs for over 45 years.  John’s clients are located locally and nationally. These clients have chosen John to provide insurance ranging from multi-million dollar buildings, to third party car insurance as well as life and income protection insurance.  An ample understanding of property, business and personal risk protection is only part of what has made John a successful insurance adviser in New Zealand.  What he is admired for first and foremost, is his ability to be there for his clients when they need him most.

With a strong passion for business, people and property from a young age, Paul completed a Bachelor of Business Studies degree in Valuation and Property Management at Massey University in 2010 whilst also working 4 years at Property IQ.

Pauls career began at CBRE in March 2011, one of the worlds largest commercial real estate services and investment firms. Paul became an Associate Director in the Wellington Office Leasing team in three years and quickly created a reputation during this period for often achieving the most leasing transactions annually in the company (totalling 303 leasing transactions) and has an ability to achieve a solution for his client in an efficient and professional manner. 

Paul’s most memorable leasing transaction was his first in Panama Street of circa 45m2 and his largest being 113 The Terrace of 9,200m2 to the Wellington City Council.

10 years in the commercial property sector provided the opportunity to work with various clients from individuals, family trusts, companies, institutions and government.

In 2021 Paul has taken the opportunity to grow his career and he is excited to have joined the team at AMP City Financial Services as an insurance adviser and to work alongside his father John Soulis who has been with AMP City for over 26 years having established an excellent reputation in the Wellington market and admiration for always being there for his clients when they need him most.
