I studied Business Management at Essex University whilst working at HarperLees doing scanning and officially joined the team on a permanent contract in 2008. This transitioned into an apprenticeship and my previous role as a Paraplanner. My career moved forward again as I completed my Chartered Financial Planner exams and, as well as being a Director, I am now in the Financial Planner role. I help clients to realise their bucket lists through the financial planning journey. HarperLees is one of a relatively small number of firms providing full Lifestyle Financial Planning; encompassing a true understanding of our clients’ needs before organising the relevant financial support.
