What attracted you to a career in wealth management?

My journey into wealth management began in 2000, where I embarked on a career in the investment management sector. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with leading investment managers, pensions providers, and a compliance consultancy, gaining valuable experience. My motivation to work with financial advisers stems from a deep-seated interest in the significant impact that effective investment management, coupled with comprehensive financial planning, can have on people's lives.

How do you approach your role on a daily basis?

Since joining Quilter Cheviot in April 2023, my role is to strengthen commercial relationships with national financial planning firms and networks across the UK. Collaborating with our Regional Development Managers, I work closely with these organizations to understand their needs and ensure that their partnership with Quilter Cheviot adds significant value to their business. By fostering these relationships, I aim to support our clients in achieving their goals through our wealth management services.

What are your interests outside of work?

Beyond my professional commitments, I have a strong passion for staying up-to-date with industry developments and exploring financial trends. On a personal note, I enjoy spending quality time outdoors, whether it's hiking, camping, or simply taking in the fresh air. Being immersed in nature is a great way to unwind.
