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.

I believe that good financial advice is built on trust and long-term relationships. That’s why I take the time to understand my clients - their ambitions, concerns, and what truly matters to them. By getting to know you, I can provide a tailored approach that aligns with your goals, whether it’s planning for retirement, growing your wealth, or ensuring your estate is protected for future generations.

I am married with 3 children. Outside of work I enjoy cooking and long walks. I am a passionate football supporter so I like going to matches when I get the chance. I also enjoy going to concerts and 'trying' to play the guitar. I love a good theme park too!
