How can you boost your pension pot?

In the UK, there are around 3.3 million pension pots that are considered as ‘lost’, containing an average of around £9,500 per pot*. Nobody wants to be missing out on money they have built up in a pension, but there’s good news - this kind of financial hit is completely avoidable.

As an adviser, my role is to help you get all of this done simply, with all the facts and information you need. That might be helping you review your risk profile, consolidating old pension pots, or making a plan to help you retire early. Investing can help your money grow over time, but the value of investments can go down as well as up.

If that sounds good to you, please get in touch.

* How to find old pensions - Which?

I am a Financial Adviser with Quilter Financial Advisers, working with clients across London and Kent — and before I sat in this chair, I spent over a decade in the real world. I founded and ran businesses, which means I understand the sleepless nights that come with building something from nothing and the very real fear of getting a financial decision wrong when people depend on you. I worked inside an accountancy firm preparing individual tax returns, which means I understand how profoundly tax touches every financial decision you make. I helped business owners reduce costs and improve their financial efficiency, which means I know that every pound has a purpose. And I spent years working alongside charities, which means I understand that responsible financial stewardship is not just about growing wealth — it is about reflecting values.

When you sit with me, you are not speaking to someone who only knows financial services from the inside. You are speaking to someone who has navigated the same kinds of decisions you are now facing — as a business owner, as someone responsible for other people’s finances, and as someone who has learned, sometimes the hard way, what separates a good financial decision from a costly one. That experience shapes every conversation I have with every client I work with.

Whether you are an individual or family wanting to invest wisely, plan your retirement, or protect the people you love — a business owner who needs an adviser who truly understands cash flow, succession, and the weight of financial responsibility — or a faith-conscious investor seeking a Shariah-conscious portfolio that reflects your values — my role is the same: to give you regulated financial advice across investments, pensions, retirement planning, and estate planning that is built entirely around you.

Whatever your situation, my approach never changes. I have never given good advice to someone I have not truly listened to first — so every conversation begins with understanding you, not advising you. From there, I explain everything in plain language and recommend only what I can justify clearly and honestly. I never lose sight of the fact that behind every financial plan is a person — with real pressures, real hopes, and a future that matters far beyond any number on a page.

I genuinely love seeing people's lives change for the better. That has been true since the very beginning — and it is as true today as it has ever been.

Outside of financial planning, I am passionate about sport — particularly football and cricket. I believe the qualities that define great teams are the same ones that define great financial advice: trust, preparation, patience, and always playing for the long game.
