Why buy an annuity? A UK retirement income strategy
For many people, retirement income planning is one of the most important financial decisions they will make. It’s not just
Having provided financial advice for the last 23 years to individuals, trusts, charities and businesses I enjoy building relationships with clients to ensure that we can work together in delivering their financial goals. I enjoy working with a variety of clients from first time investors to company directors.
My approach to advice is always to listen to clients, and what are they looking to achieve and then by asking more questions we can start to plan appropriately. Once we have a plan, I am a firm believer in delivering this in a simple, clear and concise manner.

Entrusting the accumulated wealth of a lifetime’s endeavours is one of the most important decisions a person makes. Our experience with Tees allows us to feel confident that our money is in safe hands.

Outside of work I am Head Coach of Bishops Stortford Rugby Club under 12s and have rekindled my love of open water swimming. I am lucky to have 2 sporty kids and love watching them. A recent addition to the family of Maggie the Cockador means I am out very early each day exploring the countryside around Bishop’s Stortford.
