After 18 years working in the Financial Services Industry, I decided to make a huge leap and follow a life long ambition to open my own business. After an intense 5 months acquiring the required Industry Qualifications and 3 months in the St. James's Place Financial Adviser Academy, I launched my Partner Practice, J A Gledhill Financial Planning, in April 2025. I have to say that I only wish I had done this sooner, its been a fantastic journey and I look forward to interacting with and helping clients every day.

I am currently a sole Financial Adviser so all Clients deal directly with myself, although I have both Admin and Paraplanning Support in place to assist me with some of the back office work. I take this approach as it means I can spend more time meeting current and prospective Clients, the bit I absolutely love. I intend to grow this business organically over time and one day in the not too distant future open premises on a high street near you. I hope to bring in Advisers to work alongside me to increase our capacity to help more Clients and also take on Support Staff myself to bring Practice Management, Admin and Paraplanning all under one roof. 

At J A Gledhill Financial Planning our goal is simple, to be there for any Client, existing or prospective, when they need us and offer a first class service. I want to build long term relationships with Clients, providing them with personalised and bespoke Planning. This approach is underpinned by our foundations of Honesty and Integrity, values I am unwavering on.
