Aidan is a Chartered Financial Planner and a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society. He joined Rathbones in 2021 as part of the acquisition of Saunderson House.

He finds great satisfaction in giving his clients peace of mind when planning for contingencies and making financial decisions about their futures, evidenced by the following testimonial from one of his current clients:

“Aidan has been my first point of contact at Rathbones through the most difficult part of my life following the premature death of my husband. When I was least able to make any sensible decisions, he was there every step of the way to take me from a wife who allowed her husband to do everything regarding financial matters, to an independent woman who is now responsible for her own financial destiny, and I couldn't have achieved that without Aidan’s support, patience, and kindness. Aidan and the team have done a wonderful job for me, and they make me feel confident going forward that I will be financially secure and if I ever have any concerns, they are always there to advise me and put my mind at rest. Thank you, Aidan, and thank you Rathbones."

Aidan also holds a first-class honours degree in Financial Mathematics from the University of Kent and currently lives in St. Albans. Outside of work, Aidan enjoys spending time with his wife, family, and friends. He is also a keen skier and enjoys travelling the world and experiencing new cultures.
