What do you like most about working at Acumen Financial Planning?

“The working environment is hugely positive. I feel very grateful to be surrounded by people who genuinely want you to succeed. The support I continue to receive throughout my development is fantastic. Having experienced, pioneering planners and paraplanners alongside me allows the learning make more sense and help in working towards the DipPFS.”

What has been your proudest career achievement to date?

“Obtaining my degree in Physiotherapy was a proud moment as it had taken a long-time to get there. I feel fortunate to be able to have served the public in a professional role for over 5 years and hope to have helped some people get better in their time of need.”

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

“My spare time consists of attempting to keep a wife and two young children happy and healthy! Health and fitness are important to me and continue in my pursuit of playing football for Scotland – although I have yet to receive my first call-up! I also enjoy endurance events such as Tough Mudder.”

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

“Nothing changes, if nothing changes.”
