A little bit about Nichole
Nicky has been in the Financial services Industry now for over 16 years.
What does she do?
She helps her clients make well informed decisions about their financial journeys through the various stages of their life in a friendly & professional manner.
How does she do this?
She puts her clients’ interests first and gets to know what they want out of life; what their financial goals are and how she can help realise them.
Typical things that clients need to consider:
• When can I afford to stop working?
• Can I afford to buy my own home?
• Can I help my children buy their first home?
• Can we do anything about our potential inheritance tax bill?
• Are my savings safe & getting the most suitable return?
• What will happen to my family in the event of a catastrophe?
Nicky understands that financial needs change, and therefore will always communicate to her customers in a way that is clear, fair & not misleading as she believes it is essential to have an agreed contract strategy to allow her clients to discuss any change in circumstance of future aspirations on a regular basis.
Nicky’s clients achieve peace of mind by taking steps to:
• Make sure they’re never paying too much for their mortgage
• Protect current & future lifestyle & Maximise opportunities to accumulate and preserve wealth
• Enjoy the fruits of their investments when the time comes
“I find it hugely rewarding when my clients can go about their daily lives knowing that they are well protected & that their life's goals are realistic and being planned for financially.”
When Nicky is not working she is a big supporter of the local triathlon club, so you'll see her supporting her husband & close friends. She has also recently qualified as a local technical officer with British triathlon. You will often see her marshalling and supervising races in all weathers cheering everybody on!

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.
