I have 25 years experience in financial services and specialise in independent pension advice. My main area is in helping my clients use their pension and investment savings provide for a comfortable retirement. However I am also a qualified mortgage adviser. Amongst others I can help with pension planning or taking an income or your tax free cash from your pension and explain all the options available. As a testament to the service I provide I am delighted to announce that I have qualified for the 2023 Guide to the UK's Top Rated Advisers, featured in The Times! Thank you to my existing clients for these reviews. I am a local person and I pride myself on giving advice and do not look to sell, if the correct advice is do nothing that is what I will say. I will do my best to ensure I explain everything in easy to understand plain English. I have an in depth understanding of the budget changes in relation to pensions, the way the changes affect taxation, freedom of choice and what it means for my clients. I will help you make the right choice for you and your family. My goal is to make the complex and bewildering easy to understand and I work with my clients to achieve all their goals and aspirations I offer a free, 1 hour appointment and there is no charge for enquiries on my service. I strongly believe in the value of good quality financial advice and the effect this can have on my clients lives. I work out of both Pontypridd and Caerphilly and have clients throughout South Wales. I am available to visit you at your home or at our Pontypridd town centre office.
