If you’re looking for clarity and confidence when it comes to complex finances, I’d be glad to help. With over 30 years’ experience and Chartered status, I work with people who want to make informed decisions about significant wealth — whether that’s pensions, tax efficiency, intergenerational planning, or business exit. Many of my clients come to me with questions that feel daunting or even urgent. My job is to take that weight off your shoulders. Whether you’re managing family trusts, planning for long-term care, or thinking about inheritance, I’ll help you understand your options and feel in control of your future. Clients often say I bring calm and plain-speaking to complex situations, and that they feel genuinely listened to. As a founding partner at Ginkgo, I also oversee the team and the service we deliver. We’re proud to be a multi-adviser firm, so if your needs don’t quite align with my expertise, we’ll have someone else who’s the right fit. You can explore our wider team on the Ginkgo Financial business page on VouchedFor. Outside work, I’m a dad, the unofficial plant waterer at our office, and a volunteer for Grow with Ginkgo - our campaign to help local families thrive by supporting community charities and projects. If you are looking for a seasoned partner to guide you through complex financial decisions, I’d be happy to have a conversation. PLEASE NOTE: The value of investments can fall as well as rise. You might get back less than you invested. You should only consider these products if you are willing to take some risk with your capital. We will consider whether such products are suitable for you before recommending an investment. Approver Quilter Financial Services Ltd. 14/02/24
