Get to know John
I’ve worked in the financial sector since 1990 and have a wealth of experience across all areas of financial planning. I specialise in giving pension and investment advice in a friendly, straightforward manner. I take great pride in maintaining long-term relationships by considering the ongoing service to be just as important as the initial transaction.
I love helping people and being able to add value to their current situation. There’s nothing better than building up relationships with clients and helping them achieve the future they want.
Outside of work
I love socialising with family and friends and look forward to spending time with them all either at home, on holiday, or meeting up for something to eat.
I also like to spend time with my pet dog and I really enjoy walking with her throughout the year.
My passion and hobby is cycling, and I can often be seen riding around the Lincolnshire countryside with friends. I regularly take on cycling challenges and have completed several events both at home and abroad.
