When I made the decision to join my father-in-law in the family business on the road to becoming a financial planner in 2008, it is the best decision I could have made. As Director and financial planner of Cordiner Wealth, I look after the requirements of our clients and I am also our Compliance Officer. I'm passionate about getting it right for our clients. This means thorough, disciplined research and taking the time to really understand what drives you because no two clients are the same. I love working with a tightly knit supportive team of dedicated experts. Outside work, spending time with my family is extremely important to me. I'm a keen Liverpool FC supporter, as well as a rugby fan and an enthusiastic (if rudimentary) golfer.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Older family members had already been getting advice on money management. We were planning a family and, at the same time, thought it best to make sure we had everything sorted out financially and insurance-wise for the future.
How has Ben Cordiner helped you?
He has always been there to advise us when we have needed it. He has provided an overall plan and flexed it over time to suit our changing circumstances. This gives us confidence in knowing we have done the basics and not-so-basic steps correctly.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, our investments have grown nicely and predictions for future income, pensions, school fees and university fees are all on track. We have regular meetings with Ben to adjust the plan and are confident it is fit for purpose.
