About
I’m an Independent Financial Adviser who strives to keep it simple as life is complicated enough without our industry making it even harder! Just take a few minutes to read some of my reviews to give you the reassurance you need, to ask for my help. I provide personal, whole-of-market financial advice covering retirement planning, inheritance tax planning, investment management, long-term care advice and protection strategies. Being free from financial worries and confident about the future is something we all wish for. Whether you are an individual, family or a business owner, the peace of mind that comes with sound financial advice enriches lives. Giving people their best financial future is what drives us; we’re determined to go the extra mile for our clients to ensure the support we give people benefits them and society as a whole. Based on the reviews left by clients and potential clients on VouchedFor I have been awarded 'UK Top Rated IFA' for 2014, 2015, 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026. I am very proud of this recognition as it reaffirms my commitment to my clients and for anyone who makes contact with me. I have worked in the financial services industry for more than 35 years, I became a qualified Independent Financial Adviser in 1994, having previously worked in pensions administration for prominent national schemes including Rio Tinto Zinc, Associated British Foods and The Law Society Retirement Benefits Scheme, which was during my time at London Insurance Brokers and then Minet Consultancy Services which then became wholly owned by AON. During my time at Minet I was involved in setting up bespoke insurance schemes for individuals and firms of Solicitors in the UK. In 1998 I joined Woolwich Independent Financial Advisory Services (WIFAS), part of the Woolwich Bank until I left in 2002. I then became a self-employed IFA in control of my future and over the years I have successfully increased my knowledge and experience, gaining an impressive list of long standing clients, some of those deriving from my time at WIFAS. In 2010, I joined Clear Financial Advice as they shared my views and opinions where the client is always central to the advice and service we continue to provide. My technical knowledge has also enabled me to build relationships with several Chartered Accountants, Will Writing professionals and Solicitors.
