Overview

I joined Advice for Life Financial Planning in August 2017, and have worked in the financial services industry for over 23 years.

During this time I have worked as both a private and business financial adviser, looking after clients throughout the UK for several major banks, insurance companies and most recently, one of the largest providers of wealth management in the UK.

I take pride in what I do, and I always put my clients first.

I am a firm believer in ‘Lifestyle Financial Planning’, and that the real benefits of financial advice are little to do with ‘products’ such as ISA’s and pensions. 

In my opinion, financial advice is about helping my clients plan towards meeting their goals, whether that be wanting to retire early, achieving financial independence, or looking after their families.

We have recently introduced cashflow planning, which I use to help my clients visualise their financial future, and to help them put a plan in place that we can then review and update on a regular basis.

Aside from work, my family occupy most of my spare time; but when I get a chance, I enjoy getting out and about with my family, listening to, and adding to my record collection, and I also enjoy watching sports such as football, tennis and baseball.

In 2021 along with Lee Malin and Maria McMillan, I became one of the owners of the business.

I have had the pleasure of working with Shaun for a number of years. His advice and guidance has been easy to understand and follow and he has always been available to allay any concerns or proactively suggest any investment/savings avenue that may suit us.

I would have no hesitation in recommending him and have done so.

Mr L

 I had a SIPP with True Potential and was curious to see if I could directly invest in commercial property. True Potential did not facilitate this and I thought the idea of directly investing in a commercial property was dead in the water. I found out about Advice for Life through one of the parents at my son's football team. I then had a meeting with Shaun from Advice for Life Financial Planning. Shaun was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. He carried out a risk assessment and deemed my proposal to be a good financial investment using a portion of my SIPP. Shaun suggested a company called IPM who directly invest in commercial properties and with the help of Shaun along with his sound advice I've now managed to directly invest into a commercial property that will provide good returns into my pension for years to come. Can't thank Shaun enough for his help and advice along the way. Highly recommend Advice for Life Financial Planning. I will be continuing to use Advice for Life Financial Planning for ongoing advice for the foreseeable. Really impressed with the service I received.

After receiving a recommendation from a friend when I was looking for mortgage advice, I found Pamela gave me clear easy to understand and objective advice, offering me options that enabled me to make the best choice for my circumstances.

Following my experience with AFL Mortgage services, I was then introduced to Shaun who again has offered open, objective and clear advice in laymen’s terms about my pensions and some investments.

AFL Planning Services have provided me with ongoing support and advice and I would have no hesitation in recommending them as  Financial Advisors
