Hi my name is Matthew and for over 25 years I have been providing straight forward, easy to understand financial advice . I’m a local financial adviser based in Bournemouth. My initial consultation is free so please reach out to see if I can help. I have worked as a self-employed financial adviser looking after my own clients based on the south coast since 2014 as part of the Pocock Rutherford practice. I provide quality financial advice to both individuals and businesses. I have been in the industry since 1997 giving regulated financial advice as well as training and leading teams of financial advisers during my roles in sales management. I feel my wealth of experience allows me to support in meeting your financial objectives. My firm belief is to put the customer at the heart of everything I do and I spend time growing lasting relationships through providing quality advice and exceptional service. I help people with pensions and investment and also to protect what’s most important to them. Pocock Rutherford & Co is a dynamic and highly professional practice, which has shown continued growth through client recommendation since the firm was established. Our professional approach and focus upon individual needs of each client allows us to offer a personal and friendly service, to both clients and small to medium sized companies, across all aspects of financial planning. “The value of investments can fall as well as rise. You might get back less than you invested. You should only consider these products if you are willing to take some risk with your capital. We will consider whether such products are suitable for you before recommending an investment”.
