I have worked in the financial services industry since 1978 and have built up a considerable experience with a broad range of clients. When advising clients I look at their overall situation and how present arrangements fit in to check for an overall synergy within their circumstances and a long term plan. I then develop an overall plan to assist you in achieving your financial aspirations for the future whilst accounting for your more immediate needs such as protecting your situation against loss of income due to illness or on death. I moved to True Potential in 2021 as I felt this was a safe home for my client. I also felt that their customer focus is in line with my own.
