Aim to maximise your cash savings

It might shock you to know that 28% of people hold their cash in interest-free savings accounts⁽¹⁾, receiving no return on their hard-earned money. Because under current rules a basic rate taxpayer can earn up to £1,000 in interest from their savings without paying tax, these people could be missing out on a significant financial boost that they could be enjoying.

This is even more relevant when you consider that the average person typically holds up to 25% of their available money on cash deposit⁽²⁾. So, by reviewing your cash and tackling any ‘lazy money’, you’ll be making a great start at getting your finances in shape and achieving longer-term financial security.

If your money isn’t working as hard as it could, I can help. By making it easy to access potentially better interest rates, I can help you to aim to maximise your cash savings – giving you more money to spend on the things you enjoy or helping you grow your money towards a longer-term goal.

I am a Financial Advisor based in Crawley, West Sussex, drawing on eight years of experience within financial services. My focus is on guiding individuals, families, and businesses through key areas of financial planning, including retirement planning, investments, estate planning, and protection.

I believe in being open, honest, and approachable, offering clear advice so clients can feel fully informed and confident in their decisions. My approach is centred on genuine understanding and personal connection. I aim to create long lasting relationships built on trust, ensuring each client’s goals and aspirations are carefully considered.

My objective is to help people feel reassured in the present, prepared for the future, and confident that their financial interests are being supported. It’s about providing clear, steady guidance that leads to long-term security and well-being.

Away from the professional side, I appreciate a balanced life. I’m a keen follower of Formula 1 and Fulham FC, and I enjoy gaming or playing golf to unwind. You might also find me walking my dog around Crawley or spending time with family and friends. My golf game may not be ready for The Open, but the challenge of improving shot by shot is a nice reminder that progress often comes one small step at a time.
