Rivendell Financial Solutions Ltd

I have been in the financial services industry for nearly 20 years after returning to the UK after living in Ireland where I completed my law studies.

After a few years in the corporate sector and deciding that I did not ‘fit’ into these environments with their sales culture and transactional biases, I set up Rivendell Financial Solutions in 2002. I wanted to commit myself to achieving truly client centric outcomes.

My business has evolved from being primarily a credit brokerage offering mortgages, bespoke financial solutions as well as equity release*, permissions for which I still retain, to that of a holistic financial planning practice.

This transition came about because many of my clients were beginning to ask more sophisticated financial questions as their needs were becoming more diverse and complex. 

Today I am as committed as I was when I first entered the profession; to achieve the right outcomes for my clients by providing face to face, professional and considered advice. By doing so I build long-standing trusted relationships. This remains a source of immense professional pride for me.

Outside of work, my leisure interests are quite varied. I am frequently frustrated by supporting Spurs. I’m also a huge Leonard Cohen fan (there aren’t too many of us!) and a member of the Tate Galleries, with a keen interest in surrealist art with Joan Miro being a favourite. I also appreciate counterculture literature particularly Jack Kerouac and the Beat writers. Finally, I seem also to be perpetually trying to satisfy my wanderlust.
