A little bit about Daniel
I’ve been working within the finance industry for over 20 years. I am extremely passionate about my role and responsibilities and spend time building strong long-term relationships with clients, helping to firstly identify goals and objectives, but more importantly helping to understand and educate how these can be achieved. I will develop financial planning solutions that suit your individual needs and introduce you to specialist third party providers where I feel they can add value.

An adviser’s insight
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.

More about me
I pride myself as a holistic financial planner, advising in a range of areas including Retirement Planning, Investments, Individual and Business Protection and Tax planning. I have vast experience in advising high net worth clients on their wider financial planning objectives, as well as providing ‘peace of mind’ to clients who are already successfully on target to meet their goals. I aim to deliver advice with clarity, always putting my clients in a position of informed choice.
Outside of work, I have a young daughter. In my spare time, I am an avid golfer and enjoy most sports and staying active. I also enjoy spending time socialising with family and friends.
