I have recently returned to Shropshire after building a wealth of experience working for a large Private Client firm in London servicing high net worth and ultra-high net worth individuals with an array of requirements. My areas of expertise include retirement planning, wealth protection, trusts, inheritance tax planning and general investments. I am a Chartered member of the LIBF and a pension transfer specialist. I am completely independent allowing me to truly research and tailor each piece of advice to every client’s unique circumstances and I am skilled in being able to deliver this in a simple and easy to understand manner. I conduct at least annual reviews with all of our clients to ensure we are still on track to meet their goals. I also employ cash flow modelling software to give a reliable visual representation of a client’s investment journey and retirement.
