I started in the financial services industry with Britannic Assurance plc in 1982. I had a range of positions throughout the company from Agent through to Branch Manager, responsible for a large team of Advisers and Managers.
In March 2001, I became an Independent Financial Adviser and was director of a limited company based in Harrow. In May 2004, Simpson Bowers Wealth Management was established as a successful partnership in High Barnet. Together, Ian and I have established and grown the company and we now have a strong and loyal client base all over London and the South East.

I left Britannic to become an Independent Financial Adviser in 2001 where I built up a large client base. Within 2 years, myself along with my current business partner, Gary, established Simpson Bowers Wealth Management which has now been running since 2004.

I have been part of the Simpson Bowers team since March 2015. With over 15 years’ experience in the accounting and property industries it seemed a natural progression to qualify as a Mortgage and Protection Adviser.
I am able to assist clients with advice and arrangement of both residential and Buy to Let Mortgages, protection and general insurance. Whether clients are taking their first step on the property ladder or looking to move home or build a portfolio, it is important to make the right decision in choosing the right product according to your circumstances.
