To be honest I have not been a financial adviser since I was in nappies, like many other advisers seem to brag about. I don't know why its a badge of honour if you have been in the business for years and years.

I used to be an engineering project manager up to about 10 years ago. Having worked for Gillette, Peugeot and Nokia, I got tired of travelling to various cheap labour places all over the world and decided to stay home and work for myself. However I did learn the concept of commitment to my customers and a delivery of a high level of service.   It has turned out to be definitely the right choice for me, as I have recognised that I really enjoy developing long term relationships with my clients

I am based in the Midlands near Sutton Coldfield and when i am done with work. I like to make plans to satisfy my spirit of adventure. I have a long "bucket list" and I am willing to try anything once (apart from parachuting).

This year I am committed to running at least one 10k race each month for my charity which is Marie Curie cancer nurses.

Other than an addition to going to watch West Bromwich Albion and desperately trying to not be a really really bad golfer that's about it.
