What do you do?
I specialise in investments, pensions and tax planning for individual’s and companies, whilst running the operational side of Purity Financial Services.

I would have to say my Mom, I lost her to Cancer in March 1997 but everything I do and achieve in life is done knowing that she is looking down on me with a great big smile 🙂
Hobbies
Mainly playing football for my local team, although my wife would probably say I am getting too old and also going to watch my beloved football team Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Tea or Coffee
100% Coffee, if you had asked me this question 10 years I go it would have been Tea but I am now full addicted to Coffee.

I have ran the London Marathon four times and had a back operation at 36! Read into this as you please but I won’t be doing anymore Marathons.
I am a Financial Advisor at Purity Financial Services, based in Albrighton, Wolverhampton

I am a DipPFS qualified and aim to utilise my knowledge to ensure Purity’s clients receive a great level of service. I specialise in investment and pension advice for individuals and companies.
Who’s your idol?
No idol in particular, but I do have good role models amongst family and friends that I look up to.

I enjoy spending time with my girlfriend, usually trying out new places to eat! I also like attending gigs and festivals, try to get the gym as much as possible and I am a passionate football fan supporting Manchester City.

Usually coffee for me.
Tell us something we don’t know about you?
Last year I swam with Whale Sharks in Mexico which was on my bucket list and was an amazing experience.
What do you do?
I have been a qualified financial adviser since 2007 helping clients with all aspects of financial planning, including pension, investment and inheritance tax advice as well as personal insurance advice.
Who’s your idol?
No idol in particular but I look up to my young children who have an amazing outlook on life – the naivety of youth is brilliant and the childlike innocence is something I admire.
Hobbies?
Socialising with friends, playing golf, going on walks with the kids
Tea or Coffee?
Controversially, I don’t drink either – at a push, and if my life depended on it, it would be a coffee
Tell us something we don’t know about you?
Love taking the kids camping every year with our friends – although not so much when we got caught in a storm and the tent collapsed and our cars became beds for the night
What do you do?
I am a Senior Account Executive at Purity Financial, based at our Albrighton office, near Wolverhampton.
Who’s your idol?
I don’t have any specific idols, but I would say several sports people such as Tiger Woods, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lewis Hamilton, Roger Federer – purely for their mindset and ability to maintain their longevity at the top of the elite level.
Hobbies
I enjoy most sports and will give anything a go from darts to golf, but football is my main hobby. Although the playing days are long gone due to knee injuries, I still love to be involved, so I support my mates on a Sunday morning as well as watching the Wolves down the Molineux!
Tea or Coffee
Coffee. Can never go wrong with a flat white.
Tell us something we don’t know about you?
I used to be a county swimmer in my teenage years but gave that up when I realised I stood no chance against 6’6” swimmers when I am only 5’9” myself! I also completed the Wolverhampton to Aberdovey Charity Bike ride (105 miles) when I was 16, only a couple months after an ACL reconstruction with only 2 training rides. Maybe it’s time to give it another go…
What do you do?
In a previous life I spent my days as an accountant specialising in tax before a big promotion to becoming a full time mom of 2. Today I use my skills to deal with the day to day accounts of Purity and help with office administration ensuring clients are well looked after.
Who’s your idol?
No one in particular but I’m interested in people who have managed to obtain the work life balance doing something they love whilst still maintaining a happy home life.
Hobbies
You will often find me behind a book, in the garden or taking my Beagle, Luna on walks.
Tea or Coffee
Definitely coffee. I may look after the purse strings day to day, but coffee is definitely a worthwhile investment!!!
Tell us something we don’t know about you?
When I was a full time mom I decided to go back to college to study interior design and even had my work exhibited in the Mander Shopping Centre, Wolverhampton!
I work as an Independent Financial Consultant for Purity Financial Services.
What do you do?
I have been an independent Financial adviser for over 20 years and specialise in investments, pensions and tax planning for individuals and companies. I really enjoy helping clients to achieve their goals whether that’s saving for a special purchase, retiring earlier than expected or helping them to help their families save inheritance tax.
Who’s your idol?
I don’t have a particular idol but admire those that can succeed against adversity or just keep going with sheer determination until they succeed. This could be for anything in any walk of life, not just in business.
Hobbies
I love to travel when I can. I enjoy eating out and socialising with friends but also go to the gym regularly to try to balance that out! (although I think the food and socialising are winning!) I am trying to learn Spanish and this is proving to be very difficult.
Tea or Coffee
I don’t drink tea or coffee or any other hot drinks but I am addicted to Pepsi Max!
Tell us something we don’t know about you?
My son and I were mystery shoppers for the Football Association a few years ago. We travelled to many clubs assessing all aspects of a club visit.
What do you do?
I have worked in Financial Services Admin for over 32 years and Purity is my tenth company (including previous takeovers!). I work in the administration team and love client contact, whether by client meeting, telephone or e-mail as I think this is an important back-up to the service provided by the advisers. I am also very particular about spelling and grammar, so am happy to proof-read whenever I can!
Who’s your idol?
I would have to say my Mom, as my father passed away when I was only 7 so she brought me up single-handed and was so proud when I graduated in Modern Languages. Sadly she passed just three years later but I know she is always looking over and guiding me along the way.
Hobbies
I love to travel and never happier than when on a plane, especially to my favourite winter island of Fuerteventura. My first job was at Davenports Brewery, so always eager to sample the local beers whenever I travel in the UK. I love all types of food, so have to spend a couple of hours a week at the gym! Also an avid Wolves fan, I experienced the highs and lows of the mid-80s, home and away through all divisions, which enabled me to tick off all 92 football league grounds.
Tea or Coffee
Both – it depends on the time of day. Coffee throughout the morning and then “cuppateatime” any time after 2.00pm if someone puts the kettle on!

When I worked at Davenports and visited our pubs I always had to take a trip to the Ladies’ and report back on the cleanliness, and if there were adequate “supplies”!
