I joined CRS Consultants in Nov 2016 as a Financial Adviser and it’s a pleasure to be working alongside so many friendly and hardworking colleagues.

Previously I had served as an Air Traffic Controller in the RAF for 23 years; then spent 12 years working in different sectors of the financial services gaining both the Diploma in Financial Advice and Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice in the process.

I am married to Sharon and have two grown up children: Lindsey and Andrew. I enjoy most sports especially football and golf.

I originally joined CRS Consultants in 2011, I started working in the Commercial Department before transferring to the Financial Services department in 2015 where I have gained my Diploma in Regulated Financial Advice.  I now work alongside the other advisors providing Independent Financial Advice.  Exams haven’t stopped and I am always working toward keeping my knowledge as up to date as possible.  To add to my responsibilities I am the IT Co-ordinator as well.

Having joined CRS Consultants Ltd in July 2005 and after passing exams to become a Financial Service Administrator I subsequently continued my studies and training to become a qualified Mortgage and Equity Release Adviser.

I specialise in all types of Mortgages including First Time Buyers, Help to Buy, Buy to Lets, Subprime and Specialist Lending and we have access to Bridging and 2^nd charge mortgages.  I provide a personal and friendly service.

I also advise on Equity Release products (Lifetime Mortgages) and Home Reversion Plans including lump sum payments, drawdown facilities, roll-up interest and interest payments.

“Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.”

I enjoy working at CRS and being part of a hard working client focused team.  I hold the Diploma in Financial Planning, Advanced Pensions Exam and I am working towards Chartered status.

Most of my time is focused on pensions and retirement planning. The real enjoyment of being a financial planner is providing clients with bespoke, holistic advice that allows them to enjoy their lives, instead of worrying about what’s going on in the world financially. Often we meet clients that have worked hard and saved, but don’t really know how to use their money. The best feeling is when you highlight what options they have – retirement, semi-retirement, helping other family members or just enjoying themselves more.

I have an active family life outside work and enjoy spending time with my wife and two children.
