I have during my career worked with a couple of large national companies (Bristol & West & Newcastle Building Society) as a Financial Adviser and Portfolio Manager. I became an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA) in 2004 and was appointed director of the business in 2006, I have subsequently run my own business since 2008. I am married with 2 young children, I live in East Kilbride, I enjoy spending time with my family and attempt to keep fit in any spare time I get. I have many satisfied customers and I would recommend you read their reviews.

I am part of 2plan wealth management which is a national advisory firm consisting of Independent Financial Advisers and mortgage and protection specialists.
