I have worked in financial services since graduating from Exeter University with an honour’s degree in Economics in 2008. After spending a number of years at another top city financial planning firm, I joined John Lamb, now part of The Private Office, in 2014. I have experience across the full range of financial planning services with a particular focus on pensions and I believe the ever-changing legislative landscape offers an opportunity for financial advice to add real value to the circumstances of clients and their families. I look to build up a detailed understanding of my clients’ situations which enables me to provide bespoke advice tailored to their circumstances. I believe cashflow modelling can help bring this advice to life.
