Michael Manners and William Willis are two pseudonyms that take inspiration from the two streets that intersect in Wellington, New Zealand (the place of our origin). In June 2023, Manners&Willis was born out of an understanding that the people closest to us found it difficult to understand why a collapsing bank in Switzerland could impact them.

Whether it was written or on video, the ‘information’ left question marks. We all talk in plain English to our friends, so why can’t financial information be the same? That is the spark that ignited Manners&Willis. We believe we can deliver important commercial information in a way that’s clear, concise, and easy to swallow. We want to translate it for you.

We are a small team with a lot to learn, but our excitement for making commercial information accessible to everyone is boundless. As we grow, we will introduce you to the faces behind Michael Manners and William Willis. Join us on this journey as we strive to make our vision a reality!
