Get to know Melanie

I joined Flying Colours in January 2018 and haven’t looked back. I’ve worked in the financial planning profession for over 15 years and gained a wealth of experience in administration and paraplanning.

In the last year, I was promoted to Head of Financial Planning Compliance & Paraplanning and I thoroughly enjoy supporting my team and providing training where needed. We’re always looking to develop our practices and improve the outcome to ensure we generate a report that’s informative but easy to understand for all of our clients.

Outside of work

I enjoy the simple things in life such as eating out and trying new foods, visiting family, walking, and spending time with my dogs.

What do love about your job?
No day is ever the same and I’m always learning something new; every day is for learning.
What do you love about Flying Colours?
Flying Colours is a modern IFA company and is always looking for new ways to improve and provide the best service to our clients and staff.
Absolute loves
Reading a good book in the sunshine by the pool. My fur babies that are my two adorable little dogs. Eating out and trying new food.
Pet hates
Pushy salespeople, being unorganised.
