Professionally
I joined Globe in 2014 as an all-round financial planner. I aim to understand your needs and desires, keep you informed of possibilities and pitfalls, and help you create an achievable financial plan. In addition to general planning, and where it is appropriate, I recommend and implement protection policies, investment portfolios and tax structures to help you achieve financial security and more.
I am a member of the Personal Finance Society and the Chartered Insurance Institute. I hold the Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning and the Certificate in Discretionary Investment Management, so I am well qualified to help you solve financial problems and achieve financial success.

As a caring husband and father (according to my wife!) I fully understand the need for appropriate financial protection, pension, investment and tax planning.
When not in the office or with clients, you will usually find me on the squash or tennis court, or in Richmond Park or by the river, or planning my list of jobs to do around the house (note: planning rather than doing!).
