Our people

As an Investment Director, my priority is to help my clients achieve their investment goals. By understanding their current position, requirements and financial objectives, I help them to build a tailored portfolio that suits their present and future needs. I mostly specialise in providing Investment advice to private clients for their personal portfolios, their pensions and their trusts. I also manage investment portfolios for several charities. To ensure the best possible outcome for my clients I work closely with our Financial Planners and Investec's in-house research team to ensure their investments are structured in the most tax-efficient manner to suit their needs, and provide investment portfolios that will deliver for them over the years.

I am a Chartered Financial Planner at Rathbones, providing holistic financial planning and investment advice to clients and their families. This involves providing a pro-active personalised service to first understand our client’s life goals and motivations, then building a tailored financial plan to achieve. I aim to provide peace of mind for our client’s financial futures and my focus is on building long-term relationships that can help our clients navigate their way through various challenges including:

• Accumulating wealth tax efficiently by making use of appropriate tax allowances.
• Building long term forecasts to help clients understand when they can achieve certain goals such as retirement, gifts or property purchases.
• Helping our clients draw tax efficiently from their assets in the decumulation phase.
• Helping our clients understand how and when they can pass assets on tax efficiently to their loved ones.
• Sensible estate planning with a view of mitigating inheritance tax.

I have also recently been recognised with an individual nomination in the 2025 CityWealth awards. In my spare time I enjoy travelling, playing and watching various sports including football, rugby and padel as well as spending time with friends and family in Hertfordshire.
