  Director, Investment Manager

  Since joining the charities team in Birmingham in 2016, I have channelled my time and energy into learning what charity clients are looking for from their investments and working out the best ways that we can deliver on their needs. Our focus on providing high-quality and friendly advice, where the clients' needs are put first is why Smith & Williamson is a great company.I spend a great deal of time assessing investments not only by looking at financial figures and market trends, but also on ethical issues. More clients, both charities and individuals are looking to screen companies by their impact on customers, staff and the environment. I take great pleasure in looking at companies from a slightly different angle, and am always delighted to explore any clients' needs with regards to ESG issues. Show less
