I have worked as a personal and corporate financial planner for over 37 years and have a wealth of experience in all aspects of financial advice. I see my key role as identifying my clients’ future financial and life goals and helping them achieve those goals.

Unless a client very clearly requires just a one-off service or piece of advice, I see my role as long-term providing regular and structured planning advice to ensure that clients meet and exceed their goals.

I have worked in the financial services sector for over 8 years and began my financial career in Banking at NatWest as a Private Banking Manager, building relationships with clients and helping individuals achieve their financial goals and ambitions. This time in banking and the experience it gave me led me to join the Charities Aid Foundation as a Private Client Manager, working with several Philanthropists helping maximise their philanthropic impact through effective financial planning.

I joined The Openwork partnership in July 2021 and moved across to Andrew Blackburn Financial Planning Consultants in September 2022. My role as a Financial Adviser is to offer personal financial planning. I focus on my clients short, medium and long term goals and design a clear strategy to help clients plan for and achieve their objectives.
