About Us

Although financial matters are not to be taken lightly, we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

That’s because too much of the financial services industry is overly complex and confusing. People can find this intimidating – which is the last thing we want!

We want to provide a refreshing experience, and, above all, to put people at their ease.

We start by offering a no obligation chat, which enables us to find out a bit more about each other and whether we’d be a good ‘fit’.

From there we outline each stage of the process, and leave you to go away and think about it.

We don’t pressure you into making any decisions, and make sure we give you all the options explaining things as clearly and simply as possible.

My role is giving financial advice to clients and running Pelier Financial with Jon. What’s great about Pelier is that we have the ability to make company-level decisions that we think will work best for our clients within the regulatory structure.
‍
Ultimately we’re about looking after people - the rest falls into place - because what I’ve learnt from all these years in the industry is that it’s how well you connect with people that counts.
‍
We’ve got a really strong relationship with our clients and many of them have become friends.
‍
I like to think of myself as positive because I tend to look for, and believe in, positive things happening; negativity is such a waste of energy. If someone’s got a problem there’s always a way!

Outside of work I relax by playing sports, cycling, and walking in the countryside.

Financial services was something I fell into by accident. The plan was always a career playing out behind the decks spinning obscure jazz, Brazilian beats and Italian soundtracks. In retrospect, it wasn’t a bad decision.
‍
Now, with more than 40 years’ experience in the industry, Nigel and I have realised a long-term ambition of establishing our own environment allowing us to deliver the service we really want to provide.
‍
Our boutique nature means that we are less restricted by slow and rigid bureaucratic processes allowing us to operate in a more flexible and responsive way.
‍
We pride ourselves on providing an exceptional service to our clients, many of whom we have looked after for more than 25 years. This sustainability has allowed us to move the relationship to a collaborative mutually beneficial partnership. It’s how well you connect with the people you’re trying to help, and communicate your understanding back to them, that cultivates partnerships.

Born and raised in South London, now living near a forest in Sussex, I am a life-long Arsenal supporter and season ticket holder, advocate of red wine, old Volvo's and curator of a beautiful vinyl collection.
