Spend wisely and save smartly

June can be one of the best months of the year with summer well and truly on the way. But with all those holidays, weddings, anniversaries, and other spending, it can also be one of the most expensive too.

While you should be focusing on the present, it’s also important to be aware of how major outlays now can have a significant impact on your financial security in later life. A cashflow model can give you a clear picture of the consequences your spending and saving can have on your future.

It’s also good to know about the ways you can use your tax-free allowances wisely on certain expenditures. For example, your gifting allowances can let you pass on up to £3,000 a year to your loved ones without it being added to the value of your estate.*

Together, we can make a plan to help you live your life to the full now, while still having the retirement you want later on.

For 25 years, I worked for a number of actuarial consulting firms, including Aon, advising companies and occupational pension scheme trustees on all matters pertaining to their pension and employee benefit arrangements. My main roles was as a client relationship manager for a suite of clients in the financial services and utilities sectors, overseeing a team providing actuarial and pensions management support for defined benefit and defined contribution occupational pension arrangements. 

In 2019, I qualified as a financial adviser and worked for a number of smaller, independent firms before joining Quilter at the end of 2025. I particularly enjoy helping clients to identify their goals and working towards achieving them, as well as ensuring they can obtain peace of mind should anything untoward occur on their journey towards reaching their objectives.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my extended family, as well as reading, eating out and going to the theatre, locally and in the West End. I also enjoy watching football, both on television and in person and I have passed on my support of Chelsea to my children, which they used to thank me for!
