I have been 'Top rated' by Vouched For each year since 2015, and am proud to be one of the most voted for Independent Financial Advisers in the Taunton area with over 200 client reviews. I have qualified each successive year for the top rated advisers as featured in the 'Vouched For' articles published by The Times, The Telegraph and the Mail and am often quoted in the press. I am a financial planner and company director with over 30 years experience helping people manage their investments, pensions, protection plans and equity release mortgage requirements as part of the Independent Financial Planning services that we offer at Blackdown Financial in Taunton. Outside of work I like to spend time with my wife and family, coaching children's cricket and playing golf, cricket and tennis while actively supporting Bath Rugby, Taunton Rugby Club and Somerset Cricket Club.
