I began my career as a financial adviser over 23 years ago with Allied Dunbar where I attained invaluable knowledge and experience in the financial services industry. I joined Southern Financial Services early in its foundation in 2000 where I have been essential in its transformation to the respected institution it is today. My knowledge and experience has helped me provide quality professional advise to both personal and business clients across Scotland. My experience encompasses many areas but I particularly specialise in Pensions and Investments both in the personal and corporate arena. I also provide advise on individual and business protection. Don't forget to ask me about my certificate of excellence. My clients needs and objectives are at the front and centre of what I do on a day to day basis. It's vital to our company ethos that we provide every client; no matter how big or small, an excellent service in the hope that we can develop a partnership that lasts for many years to come.
