Darren Smart

With more than 25 years’ experience in various aspects of financial services, I am very pleased to be able to offer tailored, independent financial planning solutions to both new and existing clients. In a world of complexity and almost unlimited choice, we will work together to investigate and understand your own priorities and preferences, ensuring that advice is not only very clear, but wholly appropriate and best placed to meet your objectives. Cockburn Lucas are an award-winning, East Midlands-based firm who provide trusted and impartial Financial Planning in the areas of investments, retirement planning, tax planning strategies, business and individual protection and care fees planning. Having been established in 1997, this year represents Cockburn Lucas’ 20th anniversary; over this period we have built a strong reputation as a team of trustworthy and expert Financial Planners. In the first instance in order to get a better understanding of your situation and the services we can provide, we suggest a free, informal and 'no obligation' discussion in order to 'set the scene'. Whether you choose to engage us will be entirely your choice and whilst a full, holistic financial planning review might be in order, you might prefer to limit the advice to one or more specific need areas. We usually suggest that 45 minutes will be enough time to set aside and we can arrange appointments either at our offices or a home visit. Not only do we have the knowledge and expertise to get your finances on track, we have the all the necessary resources and innovation to keep them there.
