As soon as I started working at a bank when I was 19 years old, I saw first-hand how good financial planning and guidance had the power to change people's lives. I quickly became interested in the people who came in for advice and inspired by those who enjoyed helping them. The early years of my career were spent with Royal and Sun Alliance and then Lloyds Bank before joining St James's Place in 2000 and, after careful planning over the following eight years, began my own business, 'Eight Wealth Management'. Being the founder, and now CEO, of Eight Wealth Management is a dream come true. As the company has grown, we have never lost sight of that same ethos - changing people's lives. We are proud to help clients achieve their future goals and ambitions through personalised financial planning, without ever losing sight of the trust we are given by those who invest through us. I am grateful to oversee the day-to-day running of the business and maintain a portfolio of diverse clients who have trusted me for many years with their financial affairs, from investments and private pensions, to taxation and retirement planning. I have always believed in transparency and accountability within financial services, so have maintained my personal studies and qualifications, the latest being awarded certification as a Chartered Financial Planner, not only for client trust but also for setting an example for the rest of the staff. When not at work, I enjoy golf, fitness training and cooking, but most of all, spending time with a lovely group of people I am lucky enough to have as my family. Your home or other property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. 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. The levels and bases of taxation and reliefs from taxation can change at any time. The value of any tax relief depends on individual circumstances.
