Financial Adviser DipPFS in Elstree
I am an experienced adviser providing holistic financial advice in Hertfordshire and the surrounding areas. I am passionate about developing long-term relationships with my clients, providing holistic advice through retirement planning, tax-efficient investments and protection. This will enable me to help individuals and their families achieve their financial goals and enjoy lasting peace of mind.
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.
This one might seem obvious, but it’s easy to lose track of your pension pots, where they are, and what they’re doing. If you make a note of your pension providers, and check your pot(s) regularly, you’re far less likely to lose one of them over time.
Your investment allocation is where and how you’re investing your pension. Often, people will just use their pension provider’s default setting. But this might not actually be right for your retirement goals and risk profile. So, it’s a good idea to revisit this every few years.
If you’ve had a windfall recently, like a pay rise, bonus, or inheritance, putting a portion of it into your pension is a good idea. Not only is it tax-efficient, but you’ll be glad when your retirement comes around.
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.

David is located in Elstree and offers expert financial advice to suit your needs.
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!
In advising you, I follow a simple and trusted 3 step process:
We will arrange a time to talk about your goals and plans.
I'll prepare a tailored plan which always takes full account of your goals, and gives you the steps and expert support from me to get there. All explained simply.
I'll be there as your financial adviser to give you the support you need.
