  • Prior to being invited to join St James’s Place Wealth Management I spent 18 years working in the Financial Services sector for HSBC, Barclays and latterly Santander.  I spent 6 of those years working in the Offshore Wealth Management sector in Jersey before moving to Glasgow and eventually returning to my hometown of Inverness. I strongly believe that the best way to deliver high quality, personalised Financial Advice is to meet with clients face to face in order to gain an in depth understanding of their current financial position as well as their goals and aspirations for the future.  Only then can I provide the best products and services in order to help my clients achieve their financial aspirations.  Financial Advice can be complex and every client’s needs are different.  I am committed to building long term relationships with my clients providing regular reviews and an easily accessible point of contact when needed.
  • Personal Interests
