Thomas Baldwin

Financial Planner DipPFS in Devon

A little bit about Thomas

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.

An adviser’s insight

Spend wisely and save smartly

June can be one of the best months of the year with summer well and truly on the way. But with all those holidays, weddings, anniversaries, and other spending, it can also be one of the most expensive too.

While you should be focusing on the present, it’s also important to be aware of how major outlays now can have a significant impact on your financial security in later life. A cashflow model can give you a clear picture of the consequences your spending and saving can have on your future.

It’s also good to know about the ways you can use your tax-free allowances wisely on certain expenditures. For example, your gifting allowances can let you pass on up to £3,000 a year to your loved ones without it being added to the value of your estate.*

Together, we can make a plan to help you live your life to the full now, while still having the retirement you want later on.

More about me

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.
