Get to know John
I have worked in advisory roles since 1988, so I’ve definitely got the hang of it now! This includes working with some of the UK’s biggest banking and insurance companies.
Most of my work is focussed on building investment funds for clients and helping them to build funds towards their retirement. I also help them to manage their funds and income, both leading up to and during retirement.
Outside of work
I’m first and foremost a family man, so that takes up most of my spare time. I also enjoy live music and comedy, and watching rugby.
