My journey as a financial advisor began 35 years ago and during that time I have developed some life experience by falling in love, getting married, having babies, getting divorced and being a single parent.

During that life journey, some of my client families have been with me for over four generations and optimistically I hope that I will still be around to look after generations five and six when they arrive.

For me my role as an IFA has always been about long-lasting relationships and it is gratifying to recognise the names of grandparents whom I knew so well when now looking after their grandchildren.

For fun, I have been a volunteer minibus driver for the elderly, meals on wheels deliverer and worked with a fantastic charity that encouraged young people of East London to apply for and take up jobs in the City of London. Now my volunteering is limited to the family court helping to find resolution when sadly families have reached their breaking point and ensuring that the needs of the children remain utmost in everyone's mind.

I find my volunteering and my daily work highly rewarding as both are working to give individuals and families the best potential outcome using the best of my abilities and those of the wonderful team that supports me. I would describe myself as a general practitioner  who is working with you towards happy outcomes.
