I am a firm believer in that the decisions we make today, can and will shape our future. In the 15 years I have been in the financial services sector, I am very pleased to see an industry which has started to move away from just simply selling products, to an industry which is now starting to focus firmly on the clients themselves. This focus on a clients needs and objectives allows us to better tailor our advice and with it the results it will bring. To give a brief background on myself, I have been a keen student of finances since the age of 16. After obtaining A-Levels in this area, I quickly moved onto study a degree in Finance, prior to moving onto work in the industry and achieving Chartered status whilst still in my 20s, making me one of the youngest Chartered Financial Planners in the industry at the time. I quickly built up a loyal clientele, initially via directory sites such as Vouched For and personal networking, prior to moving into a more senior employed position within my current company. Through myself, you will have a dedicated and committed financial planner who is highly qualified and able to guide you towards your objectives. Then via the company, Argentis Wealth Management, we are one of the largest regional IFA firms in the country. Both myself and the company are fully independent, so we are not restricted in any capacity as to the advice, products or funds in which we can advise on, so you can rest assured that any recommendations are fully tailored to your needs and objectives. Away from work I enjoy spending time with my family, running and also travelling and experiencing different cultures.
