Testimonials

I have been working with Tom for almost three years across a range of projects. My experience with Tom and Spinnaker has been exceptional. Tom’s professionalism, clarity, and follow-through stood out from the outset. Every stage of the process was managed with precision, transparent communication, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome. I felt fully supported throughout, and the calibre of service consistently exceeded expectations. I would confidently recommend Tom and his team.

We have worked with Spinnaker on many projects and always found them to be pragmatic and client focussed. Their ability to make quick decisions and provide market-leading terms makes them our preferred funding partner. Spinnaker has been integral in supporting our growth over the last few years and we look forward to many more projects together.

For more than five years, we have partnered with Spinnaker and the Reesby Team to fund residential construction projects across the country. Their deep understanding of the property industry, combined with their clear communication and efficient processes, ensures every deal runs seamlessly—from initial discussions through to final loan discharge. We highly recommend them as a funding partner.

Spinnaker has been a key funding partner for us. Tom’s proactive, commercially focused, and solution-driven approach has enabled us to move projects forward with confidence.

Spinnaker, led by Tom, has been a crucial partner in our success. Their consistency and professionalism have given us complete confidence across the 100–150 builds we deliver each year. Funding has always been provided on time, every time.

Spinnaker Capital have funded numerous projects (nearly 100) for Wolfbrook over the last 4 years and I can confirm the team at Spinnaker have always looked after us.

They honour the funding terms that are agreed at the start of the process, and work with us closely throughout the construction phase to ensure the project runs smoothly. Spinnaker are reliable, flexible and always maintain quick turnaround times. If any unforeseen issues arise during the development, Spinnaker work with us to find a solution in a commercial manner with a strong emphasis on maintaining a good working relationship. 

I would recommend Spinnaker Capital as a reputable funder to partner with.

In the midst of the global financial crisis, sourcing development finance for a luxury residential subdivision in Greytown was considered ambitious. Fortunately our Broker introduced us to Spinnaker and from the first meeting we saw they shared our vision. Spinnaker supported us through an accelerated winter build and were always prompt with drawdown payments. We appreciated the assistance and advice Spinnaker provided. Well done!

It was taking considerably longer than expected for resource consent to issue for a land subdivision. By the time the consent was issued the global financial crisis made our lenders nervous, notwithstanding we had completed a number of similar successful projects. Spinnaker provided the certainty needed to show our purchasers the project was proceeding. Despite a very stressful period the project was a success, which allowed us to move onto new opportunities.

I required a short-term bridging facility for my business, which I needed promptly to ensure four projects started without delay. Spinnaker provided a committed offer within a day which settled within four days. That certainty meant the projects started on time which in turn has provided more business. We now have the best pipeline of work that we have had for 15 years. I would recommend Spinnaker given they are flexible with quick turnaround timeframes.

Spinnaker provided a facility without requiring presales, which allowed construction to start immediately. My target market needed to know with certainty when completion would occur so they could sell their existing homes. Spinnaker’s offer provided this certainty. Within four months of construction starting I had unconditionally sold nine out of the 10 sections. I found Spinnaker very flexible and good to deal with.”

We have worked with Spinnaker Capital on several terraced house projects since 2017. As a builder/developer we needed a more creative funding solution than the banks could provide. Our experience with Spinnaker has been excellent, particularly their flexibility in creating a funding structure to fit our requirements. Drawdowns are always processed promptly without issue. We have no hesitation to recommend Spinnaker.

We chose Spinnaker Capital for the funding required for our townhouse project in Howick which was arranged through our broker. We had not borrowed from a private lender before. Our experience with Spinnaker was fantastic. Drawdowns were processed quickly and we received all the support we needed to complete the project successfully. We would recommend Spinnaker to other developers.
