After studying Law at the University of Oxford, I built a successful career in the financial markets before establishing Shawfield in 2009. This combination of market experience and financial planning enables me to advise clients with both strategic perspective and practical insight.

Today, I work with entrepreneurs, senior executives, City professionals and families with increasingly complex financial affairs. The more complex, the better! Whether planning for retirement, preparing for the sale of a business, managing a significant inheritance or creating a lasting legacy for future generations, my advice is always completely individual to your circumstances and long-term ambitions.

My approach is deliberately personal. I believe the best advice begins with listening. By taking time to understand what matters most to every client - their family, aspirations, concerns and values, I am able to create financial strategies that evolve as their lives change.

Professional standards are central to everything I do. I hold Chartered Financial Planner status and am a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society (FPFS), one of the highest professional designations within the financial planning profession. I am also an Accredited Later Life Adviser with the Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA), reflecting my expertise in supporting clients through later-life planning and intergenerational wealth transfer.

Outside of my professional work, I am a Founder member of the 1662 Society, which help raise funds for bursaries at Bradford Grammar School, I am a past Master of the Worshipful Company of Woolmen. I serve as a Trustee of SANE, the national mental health charity, supporting its mission to improve mental health and wellbeing across the UK. I also enjoy travel, theatre, ballet and cinema with my wife and sport – golf, skiing every so often, following Chelsea FC.
