We are a multi award-winning financial planning firm, holding the prestigious titles of Chartered Financial Planning Firm and also an Accredited Financial Planning Firm. We are a small but highly qualified team providing full financial planning that is independent and an excellent level of service to our high net worth clients. We have a clear focus on doing the right thing for our clients, in the right way. This has led to his receiving a number of awards and accolades such as the “CISI Accredited Financial Planning Firm of the Year 2022 & 2019”, the “Professional Adviser Firm of the Year 2020 and 2024" and also the “Yorkshire Financial Awards Employer of the Year 2019”. We have also been awarded the “New Model Adviser firm of the North” for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 & 2025 as well as the “Professional Adviser Firm of the year-North-East” for 2019, 2020 2024 & 2025 and the “Professional Adviser Tax Efficient Adviser of the year” for 2021. The awards and accolades we have achieved are a testament to the quality of the work and service provided by our team to our clients and shows we are committed to being the best financial planning firm that we can be. Financial planning should be about an ongoing relationship and not a one off event. I help clients understand their finances by using plain English, not jargon, whilst providing peace of mind about their financial decisions. I provide a high level of ongoing service answering questions as they occur and providing regular updates and reviews as necessary. I have more than 25 years experience as a financial planner and I am one of a small number of Financial Planners who is both a Chartered Financial Planner and holder of a Certified Financial Planner licence. I have also attained a fellowship with the Personal Finance Society (PFS)*. I was awarded the Yorkshire Financial Awards "Financial Adviser of the Year" in 2022, 2023,2024 & 2025. I work with our clients advising them across all aspects of financial planning – be it personal or business related, and I have strong links with other professionals which allows me to enhance the support I give my clients through complimentary services. My hobbies include mountain walking, camping and biking. I love to spend time in the great outdoors. * Fellows account for approximately the top 5% of all financial advisers in the UK (research based on data from the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), June 2013).
