About

I have 21 years’ experience in the financial services profession, including seven years in stockbroking as a Registered Representative of the London Stock Exchange. In recognition I was granted Chartered MCSI status from the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investment (CISI) in 2010 and the following year I was awarded Chartered Financial Planner status. I deal with all aspects of tax efficient financial planning, and specialise in long-term wealth preservation, retirement and inter-generational planning. My reputation amongst my clients is built on integrity. I hold the highest award in the CISI’s Integrity Matters examination. "I review thoroughly every recommendation I make, I always ask myself would I give this advice to a family member or a close friend in the same circumstances?". I live in Halifax with my wife, Ellie, and our young children Yulianna and Alexander. I have temporarily abandoned my mountain bike to spend weekends visiting local zoos and parks. Aside from my family and my love of the great outdoors, I am a keen amateur astronomer.
