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.

More about me
Meeting a client in their current situation and helping them reach financial freedom, options and security is my source of motivation. This can be anything that truly matters to a person and their family: a happy retirement, funding children’s education and house purchases, successfully protecting finances in difficult periods.
I collaborate to create detailed, tax-efficient financial plans to get from point A to point B. I enjoy long-term relationships with clients to ensure targets are being met and changing situations are taken advantage of for client benefit. Before joining Quilter I specialised in insurance at one of the largest mortgage brokers in London.
Outside work, I’m a proud father and a keen sportsman.
