Hi, I’m Ben. I have worked in financial services since 2000, and I’ve been advising clients since 2006. In 2012, I was recognised for my hard work when I was awarded individual Chartered status by the CII. I am a holistic financial planner, and I help clients who are at or near retirement, business owners, and young professionals. Outside of work, I have lived in Kent all my life. I have two teenage children, who I try to wind up as often as I can! Away from the office, I enjoy going on long walks and running along the coast. I also read fictional crime classics and indulge in the occasional IPA at the weekend. I founded Consolidare in 2018 to provide clear, impartial and independent financial planning to clients in London and the South East. At Consolidare, we pride ourselves on our personalised approach. This is what makes us more than a service to our clients; we become a trusted partner, confidant, and problem solver to help them achieve financial success. We specialise in helping those approaching retirement, those in retirement, those accumulating wealth and business owners. When we work with you, we become invested in achieving the results that matter to you. We are hands-on, and our clients are at the centre of what we do. It’s never too early to start planning for the future. Get in touch today to see how we can help you.
