I am a financial adviser based in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, with over 30 years of experience in the financial industry. I started my career working for Royal London as a life specialist advising clients on protection, investments, and retirement planning.

I took great satisfaction in not only helping clients achieve their goals, but also helping them get back on track with their finances.

This naturally led to Wealth Management. I take pride in delivering a professional and friendly service, with my primary focus on creating a bespoke plan for all my clients to help them achieve their financial goals. I then monitor that plan to ensure targets are achieved and any changes that are required are dealt with promptly. The review service we offer makes sure that any changes in circumstances that could alter any previous recommendations can be dealt with to make sure the plans in place still meet the clients needs now and in future years.

Our first meeting is an opportunity for me to introduce myself and run through all the services we offer. I have never used jargon and explain things simply and in a clear a precise manner. Experience and feedback from clients have indicated that after our first meeting, they will know exactly how I can help them, and the costs involved. I can advise on all aspects of investment planning for you and your family’s financial future. In the rare occasion that I am asked to advise on matters that fall outside my knowledge and qualification level we have specialists within the company that will advise accordingly.

Outside of work, I enjoy golf and have the honour of being President of my golf club. I also enjoy music and play the piano to a grade 8 standard.
