I work for Ascot Lloyd which is a dynamic and progressive company, we focus on the importance of financial planning, not just financial advice. Ensuring you are confident in the advice we provide is essential and we never take for granted the privileged position this puts us in. As a rapidly growing national firm we have the technology and an extensive support behind us. I have been working in Financial Services for 30 years, having progressed from the medical underwriting of life applications, onto reviewing advice in a compliance function, before providing independent financial advice to clients at the turn of the century. My commitment to my clients is to ensure that they achieve their financial objectives and the majority of my work is with clients either approaching retirement or indeed, post-retirement whereby later life and succession planning is the key driver. I regularly work with professional connections in the accountancy and legal professions to ensure my clients receive the 'joined-up' advice they require.

Your money is protected against bad advice by the Financial Ombudsman Service up to a maximum limit of £430k and by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) if the company goes out of business (in which case, limits may vary - see the FSCS website for more details).
