Get to know Thomas

I have been a financial adviser since 2005, working within Lloyds Banking group for nearly 10 years and working as an independent financial adviser thereafter. I love my role as a financial adviser, building strong relationships with clients guiding them through the confusing and sometimes overwhelming world of financial planning to ensure their dreams become a reality.

I advise in all financial planning areas including estate planning, retirement planning and investment planning. I work with a range of clients young and old with different needs and at different stages in life. I enjoy getting to know each of them individually and their family members and offering tailored solutions and a first class service to all of them.
