I started in the financial services industry with Britannic Assurance plc in 1982. I had a range of positions throughout the company from Agent through to Branch Manager, responsible for a large team of Advisers and Managers.

In March 2001, I became an Independent Financial Adviser and was director of a limited company based in Harrow. In May 2004, Simpson Bowers Wealth Management was established as a successful partnership in High Barnet. Together, Ian and I have established and grown the company and we now have a strong and loyal client base all over London and the South East.

I first started in the financial services industry in 1996 after leaving University. I spent 5 years with Britannic Assurance where I qualified as a financial adviser passing all the relevant industry qualifications.

I left Britannic to become an Independent Financial Adviser in 2001 where I built up a large client base. Within 2 years, myself along with my current business partner, Gary, established Simpson Bowers Wealth Management which has now been running since 2004. We continue to grow our practice by offering honest and practical advice to individuals and companies across London and the South East.

I have been part of the Simpson Bowers team since March 2015. With 15 years’ experience in the accounting and property industry, it seemed a natural progression to qualify as a mortgage and protection adviser.

I can assist clients with advice and arrangement of residential, buy to let mortgages, equity release, protection, and general insurance. Whether clients are taking their first step on the property ladder, looking to move home, build a buy to let portfolio, release equity from their current property or provide peace of mind for their family, it is important to make the right decision in choosing the most suitable product according to their circumstances.

With over three decades of experience both in the financial and property sector, I have gained lots of knowledge, initially working in investment roles, but soon developed a passion for the property and mortgage industry. I believe that the positive energy you sow into the world is the energy you receive back.
