I have been advising clients across the UK since 2015, following an earlier career in accounting. I now work with private individuals, corporates, non-profits, and charitable foundations, providing effective financial solutions for their long term planning needs. From young professionals to large businesses, I take a holistic view of their financial present and future to work with my clients to find solutions that best suit their needs. I believe the key to a good outcome is understanding, transparency, and trust, in both directions. This leads to more suitable solutions, a more bespoke service, and a better chance of achieving long term goals. My spare time involves almost anything that keeps me busy, be it cycling, golf, playing guitar, a rugby match or trips down to the south west to see family, I am not one for being idle. The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds you select and the value can therefore go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invested. An investment in equities does not provide the security of capital associated with a deposit account with a bank or building society. This Partner/Partner Practice is an Appointed Representative of and represents only St. James's Place Wealth Management Plc (which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority) for the purpose of advising solely on the Group's wealth management products and services, more details of which are set out on the Group's website at www.sjp.co.uk/products. The ‘St. James’s Place Partnership’ and titles ‘Partner’ and ‘Partner Practice’ are marketing terms used to describe St. James’s Place representatives. SJP Approved 07/12/2022
