I have been a qualified Financial Adviser since 2017, having previously worked as a secondary school teacher. Although I advise on most areas of financial services, my areas of interest are: • Retirement planning • Estate planning • Equity release • Financial safeguarding -- ensuring that each client has the right protection plan in place – life assurance, income protection etc – to provide for them should the worst happen. My client base ranges from young professionals in their early 20s-30s to much older clients in their 80s. Their needs naturally vary considerably but it is a huge privilege for me to be able to help them achieve their financial goals regardless of where they are on life's journey. For me, being an effective adviser involves being a good listener and being able to explain things clearly and concisely to clients so that they understand exactly what we are looking to achieve and why. My spare time revolves around my young family. As a proud husband and father, I realise how important it is to receive good, impartial advice to provide, support and protect those closest and dearest to us.
