In the UK, there’s an estimated £26.6bn1 in lost or forgotten pensions. That means the average UK worker is missing as much as £28k2 from their retirement money. 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.
If that sounds good to you, please get in touch.
The value of pensions and the income they produce can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested. Tax Planning is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Tax treatment varies according to individual circumstances and is subject to change.

My journey in financial services began over two decades ago and has taken me from banking and investment management roles in Sydney and London to becoming a fully qualified Financial Adviser with Quilter Financial Advisers. That breadth of experience has given me a deep understanding of the financial world and the many ways it can both empower and overwhelm people.
I’m passionate about helping clients gain clarity, structure, and peace of mind around their finances. Whether it's helping a family plan for their future, supporting a business owner through key financial decisions, or guiding a professional towards a more tax-efficient retirement, I work collaboratively with each client to build a tailored plan that reflects their goals and values. My approach is friendly and pragmatic. I believe financial advice should be personal and accessible - not filled with jargon and that long-term planning is most effective when built on trust and understanding.
I offer advice across all areas of financial planning, including investments, retirement, protection, estate planning, and mortgages. I hold a Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning, and the Certificate in Mortgage Advice, from the Chartered Insurance Institute. Further to this I hold a Bachelor of Economics Degree from Macquarie University in Sydney and the Investment Management Certificate (IMC).
I’m based in North West London, where I live with my wife and two children. Outside of work, I enjoy keeping active, which helps trying to keep up my two rapidly growing children, and contributing to our local primary school as a governor
