I have extensive experience in Financial Services spread over 30 years plus working for Insurance Companies and Banks, culminating in my present role as, Co. Founder and Director, of Concept Financial Solutions and an active provider of Independent Financial Advice.

I consider Independence as the corner stone of being able to provide the best advice possible through the ability to utilise the whole of market for all our propositions and recommendations.

Having a family, and all the responsibility that come with it, has given me the understanding of the need to personally plan financially for present and future wants and needs.

Financial Services has a unique level of Compliance, Regulation and Monitoring to ensure people within the profession keep up high standards of providing service and support to clients and customers. Therefore I am always looking to extend my knowledge and understanding of issues relating to the services we provide, with particular attention to the ever changing areas of taxation, pensions and investments and the implications these changes may mean to my clients.

I have over 20 years’ experience in financial services. I take pride in my business and have always taken to heart my father’s statement, “Look after your clients and they will look after you.” How true the words.

When setting up Concept Financial Solutions Ltd we as a practice had only a handful of clients that wanted us to be their Independent Financial Advisers. Now with in excess of £110 million of funds under management and over 400 clients my vision of “think Big but grow small” is now coming to fruition. I believe our ongoing and future success is based on client trust and delivering financial solutions that meet the needs of the consumer.

I have taken pride in helping our company go from strength to strength based on the underlying ethos of providing quality advice in a clear and straightforward manner. Financial Planning can seem a daunting and complex subject with ever changing regulations and ever increasing options.

It is my passion to steer clients through the process giving them a clear and understandable solution to fit their individual needs. It is important to acknowledge that financial planning is not something that can be covered in one meeting. My aim is to provide help and on-going advice to clients throughout their entire financial journey, whatever age they may be.
