Financial Planner DipPFS in Devon
We often insure the things that matter – our pets, our phones – yet the most important protection is sometimes overlooked: ourselves and our families.
Many people delay protecting themselves and their families - whether due to cost concerns, uncertainty about the right cover, or the belief that “it won’t happen to me.” You’re not alone, and that’s where I can help.
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.
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. 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.

Before becoming a financial planner, I worked as a truck mechanic, where I learned the value of long-term thinking and preventative maintenance. That mindset now shapes my approach to financial planning - because investing in your future is a long haul journey.
I’m committed to helping clients achieve their goals with confidence and clarity, and I place great importance on building strong, lasting relationships. For me, a solid financial plan starts with the right protection. Life can be unpredictable, and ensuring your family is secure through illness, disability, or worse provides peace of mind when it matters most.
I guide clients through these conversations with honesty, care, and a calm, practical approach, helping them make confident decisions about their family’s financial future.
I’m a full-time dad to two energetic kids who sit at the centre of every decision I make. When I’m not helping clients, you’ll usually find me on the football pitch or in the gym, always pushing myself to learn, grow, and improve.
Get in touch, I will always make time to care for you and your family.
In advising you, I follow a simple and trusted 3 step process:

I'll prepare a tailored plan which always takes full account of your goals, and gives you the steps and expert support from me to get there. All explained simply.
I'll be there as your financial adviser to give you the support you need.
