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.
