Financial Planning Consultant DipPFS in Glasgow
I am a Financial Planning Consultant with Quilter Financial Advisers, based in Glasgow. I am passionate about helping people take control of their finances and achieve the goals that matter most to them. I believe good financial planning is about more than numbers, it is about understanding what you want from your finances, both now and in the future. I offer friendly, clear advice and can meet clients in person or via video call.
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.

I offer advice across a broad range of financial planning areas, including investments, retirement planning, protection and estate planning for both individuals and businesses. I have particularly strong knowledge of investments, driven by a lifelong interest that began when I bought my first shares at 18 years old. After building a successful career in logistics, I chose to become a financial adviser so I could turn that passion into a career focused on helping others build confidence, security and long-term financial success.
Outside of financial planning, I enjoy both watching and playing football and tennis, and I make a point of getting out for a daily walk to keep my mind clear and my body active. Furthermore, my wife and I have welcomed our first baby into the world, a lovely little girl. She’s taking up all of my free time at the moment, and I’m enjoying every minute!
