I have been with PenLife since 2009 and have worked in financial services, specialising in Pensions, since 2002. As a Chartered Financial Planner, I am also qualified as a Pension Transfer specialist which means I can advise on Occupational Final Salary Pension Schemes and how they fit into your retirement options and your actual, individual retirement goals. In terms of advice, I can offer fully independent recommendations. With an holistic approach I can advise on retirement, investments, Inheritance Tax and protection to be able to look at the full picture and how all of these things are fully intertwined, especially since all of the pension rule changes over the last few years. This enables me to provide a clearer picture of the opportunities and pitfalls in your particular financial needs, which I have been told I can explain and illustrate in a straight forward and easy to understand manner. Outside of work, I love spending time with family, preferably outdoors or in front of a BBQ. I also love the sea and getting the opportunity to go surfing, especially on the beach in Spain where my wife is from.
