Who do I work with? I have worked with a wide variety of client situations helping them focus on understanding their objectives and motivations, leading to a financial plan that is suitable and tailored specifically for them. I believe in a traditional approach built on a strong client adviser relationship to ensure clients stay on track and allow them to spend their time on the things that are important to them. About me? From a very young age my parents involved me in their financial affairs, and I developed a strong relationship with their advisor, who we now count as a close family friend. It was that clear, sensible advice from a long-term trusted relationship with my family that motivated me to join the financial services upon leaving university. I went on to hold various corporate and technical roles within both small and large financial institutions until I felt I

My experience I joined Weston Cummins in 2012 having previously worked for more local IFAs outside of London. I have been working in financial services for over 20 years and have attained the Chartered Financial Planner status. My experience has been built around research and technical knowledge, and I use this when working with the fellow advisers that I support to provide advice to my clients (and theirs). I enjoy being able to help my clients with their planning, alongside those of the other advisers. I have found that the answer to all financial planning problems lies within the information we can gather from our clients, therefore, listening and asking lots of questions is key to helping you achieve your goals. About Me Outside of work I am a keen cyclist and have recently started criterium racing. Along the two wheeled theme, I also own a motorbike and enjoy touring

Who do I work with? I believe in a very traditional form of service in my role as a financial adviser. That is providing holistic advice to those who are recommended to me. In many ways this is akin to providing a boutique service, in that all the guidance I give is very specific to the individual receiving the advice and their circumstances. Typically my clients tend to be in their fifties or sixties and approaching retirement, looking to generate an income having retired, or wanting to consider Inheritance tax planning. In addition I often also look after my clients’ wider family. About me I joined HFMC Wealth in 2023, having previously been a director of Weston Cummins where I worked for over 25 years. Over the years I have studied hard to improve the quality of advice that I can provide and I am now a Fellow of the

Who do I work with? I work predominantly with private clients. I focus on helping clients protect what they have, and to successfully transfer their wealth to future generations, whilst ensuring they retain sufficient to support their desired lifestyle. This often results in working closely and collaboratively with my client’s legal and tax advisers. My clients are frequently entrepreneurs, and senior managers and directors who are either approaching or have recently made the transition into retirement. My clients are frequently time poor and looking for a trusted adviser to whom they can delegate. The most enjoyable part of my role is working with our clients. Meeting new people, hearing their story, and understanding where they are in life, how they have got there, and what lies ahead is fascinating, as everyone is unique. I find it incredibly rewarding being able to simplify complex decisions, and helping clients make sensible informed
