I am a founding Director and owner of Sylvan Financial Management having worked in financial services for over sixteen years. My job is to listen to clients, get to know them and their goals and help put together a financial plan to allow them to focus on what is important to them. I am particularly interested in pensions and investments. My client bank is diverse with clients ranging from younger business owners to individuals approaching and in retirement. I am a Chartered Financial Planner and Fellow of The Personal Finance Society, as well as having a degree in Economics and Politics from Manchester University and the Investment Management Certificate from the CFA Society of the United Kingdom. Away from work, I am kept very busy looking after my three-year-old son George, as well as volunteering with a number of charities, when I get any spare time my other passion is gardening and I am a member of the RHS.
