Financial Planning Consultant, DipPFS in Lincoln
I am a dedicated financial planner with Quilter Financial Advisers, passionate about helping individuals invest wisely, plan for a secure retirement, and safeguard their family's future.
Combining a fresh perspective with a commitment to personalized advice, I collaborate closely with clients to develop and implement financial strategies tailored to their unique goals and circumstances.
In the UK, there’s an estimated £26.6bn1 in lost or forgotten pensions. That means the average UK worker is missing as much as £28k2 from their retirement money. 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.
If that sounds good to you, please get in touch.
The value of pensions and the income they produce can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested. Tax Planning is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Tax treatment varies according to individual circumstances and is subject to change.

Will has provided us with some really helpful advice across a range of topics and services.
He took the time to listen and understand our goals and approach to finances. His advice was knowledgeable and targeted to our situation. He was patient in answering our questions and explaining some of the concepts.
We both feel much better equipped to make decisions about our finances and have a much better understanding of the range of savings and investment options available to us.
Following a change in personal circumstances I wanted to explore my options for financial investments. I had only spoken to, and used a financial adviser once in the past, so it was not something I was particularly knowledgeable or overly comfortable with.
Fortunately, Will was recommended to me. All the way from the introductory meeting, to ascertaining my goals and commitment levels, to presenting a plan - I found Will a breath of fresh air. There was no obligation, even after all the time he had spent putting two plans together for me, he was transparent from the get-go. After agreeing on a plan, he kept me updated right through the application process, explaining the need for due diligence and making sure the plan was the right one for me.
It’s daunting when you’re starting off with a financial commitment, I’m not a high earner or have excess money put aside, but Will managed to help me make an informed and confident decision, that best suited my circumstances.
I imagine you would be in safe hands dealing with Will whatever your level of investment, but I can strongly recommend him if you are in a position like myself, where you are new to it and just want what you do have to work as hard for your future as possible.
Thank you so much for providing clarity. The pension options had been worrying me for quite some time. I now feel better prepared to plan for the future. Thanks for being easy to talk to and happy to explain any queries.

I began my career working with young adults with disabilities, where I developed patience, empathy, and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. I then transitioned to teaching mathematics at the secondary school level, honing my skills in communication, problem-solving, and mentoring.
While training as a financial planner, I also completed an electrical course to enhance my DIY skills, reflecting my commitment to lifelong learning. Outside of work, I stay active by running, going to the gym, and playing football, which keep me focused and energized.
Let’s connect—I’d love to help you achieve your financial goals!
