I am a client service executive here at Redmill and joined the team back in January 2021. Since I joined, Redmill put me through the diploma in financial planning and in 2023, I achieved DipPFS.
Prior to working with Redmill, I have worked in the Financial Services industry since I was 18. This included working at some of the big high street banks.
On a personal note, I went to college in America after high school, on a football (soccer) scholarship, I recently became a proud father to my beautiful baby girl, and like John Smith, I also have to cope with supporting the same Scottish Football Club.
I am the Managing Director of Redmill Advance a leading financial services education company. We train wealth management professionals, empowering them to deliver exceptional services to their clients. I have worked within the financial services sector since 1997 and have enjoyed a 25+ year career in the industry.

The operations team is integral to the business and I support this by implementing robust processes, building strong relationships and managing projects. All with a focus on client outcomes and exceptional service.
I have worked in the financial services industry for 25 years with 20 of them being in learning and development.
