About

As a Chartered Financial Planner, I specialise in creating complex financial planning strategies for high net worth clients. Working primarily with legal and accountancy professionals, my referrals often lead me to help interesting people from many walks of life. I have nearly 20 years of financial planning experience, having entered the profession in 2002. Previously, I have performed a range of financial planning roles at Cavanagh and Close Brothers before joining Metis Wealth (now known as Shackleton) in February 2014. Please note Metis Wealth rebranded to Shackleton on the 1st September. Any references to Metis Wealth in client reviews prior to 1st September, relate to the company's previous brand.
