Euan joined our team in Glasgow in September 2025 after spending three years working as a financial planner in Hong Kong.

Euan has been fortunate to live and work in a variety of places – including London, Newcastle, New Zealand, and Hong Kong – where he combined a career in finance with a semi-professional rugby career while completing an Honours degree in Economics. After graduating from university, he spent a couple of years working at Schroders before moving to Hong Kong, where he worked as a financial planner for an independent firm.

In his spare time, Euan enjoys playing rugby and cycling, traveling and spending time with his family and fiancée.
