My role
I joined Lovewell Blake Financial Planning in 2012, beginning my career in the Business Review team as a paraplanner before progressing to a Financial Adviser. I provide advice on a wide range of products and services, including life, pensions and investments. I work closely with our healthcare team and have a particular interest in the NHS pension schemes. I am based at our Norwich office.
About me
I have achieved my level 4 Diploma in regulated financial planning and continue to further my professional development. Outside of work, my wife Kayleigh and I like to take walks with our dog Hank through Thetford forest, or at the North Norfolk coast…and maybe find a nice local pub along the way!
