Chris is based in Glasgow for McCrea Financial Services that became part of One Four Nine Group in February 2023. He is a Chartered Financial Adviser who prides himself in listening to clients to make sure that everyone is on the same page when it comes to finding solutions to help them achieve their goals. Starting his career within Financial Services at the tender age of twenty-five, Chris quickly achieved the necessary qualifications and then settled into a firm for the next 20 years that dealt primarily with teachers and lecturers. During this time Chris also achieved Chartered Financial Adviser status. Outside of work you can find Chris indulging his passions of movies and music, likely playing the drums and guitar.
