RUSSELL LELLMAN BBS CA
Director

A third generation New Zealander, educated at King's College and Massey, Russell holds a Commercial Pilot's licence, (multi-engine, single pilot instrument rating), and is a double Black Belt in Shorinji kempo. He played rugby in Auckland and Tauranga, cricket locally, and represented Tauranga and Bay of Plenty in the Colts and Under-18's. And in 1992 he completed the famous Coast-to-Coast. Just.

Apart from all that he's a fairly relaxed sort of guy, with no apparent scars or disabilities, a straight shooter with an old-fashioned view of integrity who enjoys tennis, squash, golf, all sports, positive people and progressive clients.

DEAN WEARNE BMS CA
Director

Dean joined Lellman Weaver & Co in 1994, becoming a principal of Lellman Wearne in April 2001.

Dean oversees the compliance and taxation functions of the practice, as well as advising on trading structures, business acquisitions and financing alternatives.

An interest in investment strategy has seen Dean spend the last two years investigating investment options for those clients looking to diversify beyond their core business activity.

A busy family man, he is also a keen fisherman with a determination to master both golf and pool.

JEREMY CURRAGH BMS, CA
Director

Returning to chartered accounting after eight years in Corporate land, Jeremy is something of a prodigal son.

"What I've brought back from my travels, apart from a rekindled love of New Zealand, is valuable experience in the areas of IT implementations, strategic planning, general management, finance and risk analysis. I spent three years in a senior financial role with Merrill Lynch in Ireland, and have recently held finance and general management positions with SME's throughout the country."

A confirmed devotee of life after work, Jeremy plays Touch Rugby for a team high on spirit but low on skills. He completed (just) the Mount Half Ironman, and out on the golf course he battles an ever-ascending handicap. Family time is firmly slotted in but there's always room for the social side.

A lifetime beach-lover, Jeremy's pretty sure he's finally come 'home'.
