Warren has served our country from the Falklands to Belfast in the New Zealand Army and recently had to give up his job as a truck driver to become the legal guardian of his lovely granddaughter.

Taking on board a great responsibility, Warren is raising a happy and clever child with love and care.

ASB wanted to bring a little Christmas joy with an ASB Good as Gold - Santa Edition Award and $4000 to make this festive season special for Warren and Neveah.
