His father’s encounter with investing led him to the decision to be a financial adviser.

In the 1980s his father retired, during an era where there was limited access to financial advice. With a lack of understanding of financial complexities and without advice, his father took the leap into investing. Unfortunately without advice, the investment failed – leading to significant stress.

Paul’s ‘why’ is to ensure his clients have access to the right advice, education, certainty and reduced complexity to provide better financial outcomes.

Paul is a proud father of two young boys. He and his wife enjoy spending quality time with their sons, and Golden Retriever. Paul is a keen runner, cyclist and sports nut. He has also found a new interest in family ancestry tracking his UK heritage back to the 1500s.
