A little bit about Chris

Your money won’t reach its goal unless it has a direction. But with a plan, it can work towards something better. I can help.

An adviser’s insight

Money needs a plan. Here’s where to start

Money doesn’t make decisions on its own. Left sitting in cash, it quietly loses value. That’s why money needs a plan. It’s not about being wealthy or knowing all the answers – it’s about giving your money direction. And in the UK, many people miss out simply because they don’t take that first step.

  • Most people in the UK save sporadically or leave money sitting in cash – missing out on growth.
  • Planning gives peace of mind. It turns uncertainty into clarity.
  • The earlier you start, the more powerful the impact – but it’s never too late.
  • Quilter’s purpose is to help build brighter financial futures. That starts with a plan.
  • Investing always carries risk. The value of investments can go up and down and you may get back less than you invested.

Making your money work for you

Why investing matters

  • Lazy money loses value over time – inflation chips away at it.
  • Investing little and often helps your money grow without needing to be an expert.
  • A plan helps you stay focused and avoid reactive decisions.

Inflation and ‘lazy money’

  • Inflation quietly erodes the value of your savings.
  • £10,000 in cash today could be worth significantly less in 10 years.
  • Investing helps protect your money from inflation and grow it over time.

Testimonials

T. Williams

Chris has advised me on possible solutions for my investments, making sure to cover all corners of options and proposals and make me aware of risks. Chris was very patient through the process and I am pleased to have now moved my ISA as per Chris’s recommendation and put in place a personal insurance policy to protect my family if anything were to happen to me.

P. White

I wouldn’t change anything Chris did in his approach or the advice he gave to me. My understanding of pension options was virtually nil and Chris went to great lengths to explain what all the options were and which would best fit my specific needs, making sure that I understood totally.

K. Russell

Chris advised me on how he could amalgamate all my pensions. He did the lot, from start to finish which was great. I now have them in one place where I can keep an eye on them, and one lot of paperwork instead of four. Everything went nice and smoothly. Hassle free for me personally
