I work hard to get to know my clients and understand their requirements so that I can recommend the right solution for their needs. SSF’s focus on this is reflected in their commitment to ensuring clients get the best advice coupled with holding themselves accountable to the client for the suitability of that advice is refreshing. I am keen to bring my experience in the sector to the table but also to broaden my remit to encompass a wider portfolio of financial solutions”.

His proactivity for seeking out and nurturing transparent and honest long-term relationships with his clients will be very welcome to businesses in the region at this time.”
