I've worked in financial services for over 25 years. My focus is on delivering true financial planning for my clients, specifically helping business owners plan to achieve their long-term objectives. At Grey Parrot, we’re completely unbiased and independent. We use an evidence-based passive investment approach to achieve your goals faster than you thought possible. Our team of experts are passionate about protecting your time and your energy. We do all the research, deal with the paperwork, and keep you informed. In our opinion, financial planning beats financial advice. Planning puts people, and their aspirations first, advice focuses on products and investment returns without considering what the client wants from life. I live in Oxfordshire with my wife Lynn, two grown up children Jake and Poppy, and our dog Bailey. I enjoy walking the dog in the Cotswold countryside, traveling and holidays and I am a keen sports fan, enjoying football, rugby and snowboarding and Golf.
