A little bit about Ryan

I help clients make confident, informed financial decisions through clear, personalised advice tailored to their goals, circumstances, and life stage. My focus is on long-term planning and practical guidance through good and bad times, and on building life plans that support wealth creation, retirement planning, family protection, and passing on wealth to the next generation.

Outside work, I enjoy spending time in the countryside with my family and my dog, Luna, who also enjoys a day trip to the beach.

How can you boost your pension pot?

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.

Here are three simple ways to make sure your pension is working its hardest for you.

1. Check up on it

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.

2. Look at your investment allocation

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.

3. Bump it up

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.

Ryan's location

Warrington
Cheshire
United Kingdom

Ryan is located in Warrington and offers expert financial advice to suit your needs.

I work with a wide variety of clients, from large companies to individuals starting up their own businesses. I also work with other clients who may have had some experience of financial services before, or those who may need more assistance.

Life is often described as lumpy, and no two clients are the same or have the same needs. Therefore, I take the time to understand what matters most to you, whether that is preparing for retirement, growing your investments, protecting your loved ones, or passing on wealth efficiently. By building a plan around your individual priorities, I aim to provide reassurance, clarity, and a structured path towards your objectives.

Ongoing reviews are a vital part of my advice process. Financial planning is not a one-off exercise, and regular reviews help ensure your plans remain aligned with changing personal circumstances, legislation, and market conditions, helping you stay on track towards your long-term goals.
