Darren loves helping people plan for their financial futures. He is very passionate and takes pride in really understanding his clients to give the most tailored and relevant financial advice. He looks to build trusted and enduring relationships with his clients and make every effort to earn the right to be their financial adviser over the long term as he understands that clients’ priorities will change over time.
Darren has excelled in his professional development by becoming a chartered financial planner and has completed his supervisory qualifications. This all contributed to him then being awarded Fellow with CII.
Darren typically helps his clients with bespoke retirement and investment planning advice which he believes is underpinned by having personal financial protection in place. He also has a particular interest in estate planning, a subject on which he has delivered numerous seminars. The regulators have specific requirements and qualifications to be able to advise on particular types of pensions, such as defined benefit schemes, an area that Darren specialises in.
Born in Brighton and still lives in the area with his wife, Gemma and son Joshua. Aside from spending time with his family, Darren loves playing Golf, watching Brighton play at the Amex, and travelling the world.
