Lynette Gous - Legal & Business Consultant
Peter is the type of financial adviser I would go to battle with. He takes time to really understand his clients’ needs and provides them with independent advice. Peter goes the extra mile for his clients, ensuring that their financial goals are set, but each individual’s comfort level is also taken into consideration. Peter is knowledgeable, passionate and forthright. When he is on board, the client can rest assured that someone is looking out for his or her welfare.

I first met Peter Hawker at a Business Networking Meeting that he was chairing. My first impression of this dapper and extremely well spoken gentleman was his professionalism in handling a particular lively meeting. Members had their say in an enforced time limit but came away feeling satisfied when the meeting achieved a reasonable conclusion controlled in no small measure by the Chair.
This first impression as a structured achiever was borne out over the next twenty years. Peter became my Financial Adviser and firm friend. He has lived a non-sterile life and has travelled many avenues of life in the business field and as an individual collecting knowledge and wisdom along the way. Trained as a Marine Biologist at Natal University he has maintained a sincere interest in whatever he explores and applies a scientific methodology to those endeavours. To my mind his blending of practical experiences and academic thought processes have made for a well-rounded individual who has the ability to give sage advice.
Peter continues to explore interesting matters to enhance his business acumen and personal life with gusto and a striving for excellence and complete knowledge of his subject matter. His four girls are his heart beat and he proves to be fearless of public opinion in his pursuit of Spiritual fulfilment and enjoyment of a full life. He is an aptly named Senator of his Specialist Business Group who continually quest for knowledge in their field of financial expertise. My friend is also in hot pursuit of a Cape Wine Master’s achievement and I can only wish him well in his energetic striving to live a full life.

I have known Peter Richard Hawker for 30 years and in that time have not only enjoyed a lively, rewarding friendship with him, but seen him develop as a man, father and as a highly motivated and skilled professional Financial Adviser.
Well educated, urbane and articulate, Peter has acquired a reputation as a well- informed Financial Adviser with the requisite academic qualifications to go along with his hard–earned experience and wealth of investment knowledge. His long-standing client base has grown steadily in recent years when only the best financial advisers in South Africa have withstood the vagaries of the market, and the regulatory demands on qualifications and integrity.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Peter as a Financial Adviser to any person looking for high quality and sound investment advice in the local market or offshore.

Peter Hawker of Hawker and du Toit Associates has been my financial adviser for 30 years or more. He has offered sound financial information throughout those years and thanks to his careful direction and husbandry, I am able to enjoy a comfortable financial situation in my retirement years when the fruit of years of planning and saving with the right companies is so important. Peter keeps up to date with the latest financial movements and attends conferences and seminars for further insight, so his advice has always proved to be excellent and profitable. In addition, he has a network of support in other areas such as attorneys and accountants
He is always accessible and deals with queries promptly and efficiently so that problems are resolved speedily. In dealing with the financial life of myself and my partner, Ronald Ayling he has become also a trusted friend and has certainly gone the extra mile in assisting me at the time of the death of Mr Ayling. His support and practical assistance was invaluable.
I can wholehearted recommend Peter Hawker for any honorable enterprise and look forward for more years to come of his friendship and excellent advice.

Peter Hawker encouraged me when I was in my 30's to put something aside for me for later when I retire. He looked after me through various jobs and towns , with good suggestion s . I am now looking forward to my retirement in 4 yrs knowing that I will be independent. The proof is in the pudding!

Peter has been known to me for approximately 9 years. In that time he has “looked after” my insurances, loans, investments and assisting in setting up a family trust. He has performed all these tasks with minimum delay and extremely efficiently. I am impressed with the fact that Peter invests a great deal of time (and money) to keep abreast of the constantly changing rules of the assurers and SARS. I have no hesitation in recommending Peter as a Top Professional financial Advisor.
