In 2001, at age 32, Colin took a leap of faith and founded Phoenix. Focusing on helping clients achieve their retirement goals, Colin’s commitment initially saw him work 60-hour weeks to build a robust client base. In 2020, a health scare prompted Colin to appoint Lynne as Practice Manager to help share the workload. Colin also prioritised his well-being, and he now enjoys staying fit through regular gym sessions and hill walking. These activities provide not only a necessary release from the demands of work but also contribute to his overall health and vitality. Colin holds a Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning and is a proud member of the Personal Finance Society. His role now sees him managing a core number of clients, ensuring they receive personalised and expert advice.
