Tom Yard
I'm Tom, Financial Adviser, life-long petrolhead, and someone who loves a complex problem to solve.
I believe financial planning should feel like something that works with you, not something that's done to you. That's what I'm here to offer.
About
In 2024, I left a career I loved in the motor trade to retrain as a Financial Adviser. I was ready to make a bigger impact for others, by helping them to achieve their financial goals, and for myself by doing more meaningful work. I love talking to people and I’d always wanted to be self-employed. Financial services have always interested me, but it was the human side that pushed me to take the leap into financial advice.
In 2025 I achieved my dream by making Yard Wealth Management a reality. Now I spend my time talking to local people, helping them find clarity through good financial planning. I value supporting local business and I really enjoy working with the owners as well.
Outside of work, my time is usually spent with our two dogs, who like to go out on an adventure then fall asleep in front of the log burner. I also love cars, I can often be found exploring in my Land Rover… or just trying to get it to start!
