My career in financial services began in 1984 with Scottish Amicable (now Prudential), working with clients on their pensions and investments and I became an Independent Financial Adviser in 1996. I am experienced in all areas of financial planning including pension planning and consolidation, retirement planning, investments, savings and investments and inheritance tax planning. I advise elderly clients and their families, particularly on long-term care and equity release. I believe in involving families in financial planning to make the best long-term decisions for their future. I specialise in pension advice in relation to divorce and pension sharing orders.. I use simple, understandable language to help my clients understand the plans they have will work for them and help them to choose the best option. I work with business owners, entrepreneurs and the self employed, offering a wide range of financial advice and planning services including group pensions schemes, group protection solutions, salary sacrifice set up and management, employee benefits packages and financial wellbeing services. I offer you comprehensive, expert financial solutions and services from starting your investment and pension planning strategies right up to passing on your wealth to your family in the most tax efficent way possible - and everything inbetween. Outside of work, I enjoy swimming and cooking. I previously coached and judged synchronised swimming as well as competing myself. I married my partner Michael in 2016 who I met at high school and have 3 step children.
