Qualifications
Get to know Tom
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.
What do you love about being a financial adviser?
I love meeting people and building strong relationships that last. I like the feeling that I’m making a difference to peoples lives and their loved ones.
Why did you decide to join Flying Colours?
I was very impressed at the attitude of all the staff I meet on my first encounter. It feels that everyone is working to a common goal and genuinely cares about the role they do.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
I’m married and have 2 children Lola and Harry. We spend time together walking our Rhodesian Ridgeback Wilma. I coach my sons local football team and spend most of my spare time on various home renovations and DIY projects
What are your absolute loves?
I love music and am keen to enjoy live music wherever possible. I play guitar (badly), enjoy the gym, cycling and snowboarding.
What are your pet hates?
Having recently renovated our current house I don’t want to see another piece of sandpaper or a paint brush for a while!
