Plan for the future with confidence through expert financial advice in Antrim.
IQ&Co provides personalised financial planning, from investment and retirement planning to protection advice, helping you make informed decisions and achieve your financial goals.
I joined the IQ & Co team in 2015 and work in the Holywood office as a financial adviser.
I began my career in financial services with Halifax in 1984, now bringing over 30 years' experience in the Bancassurance industry to my role within IQ & Co. Having initially worked for a few years in various departments within Halifax gaining valuable industry experience and knowledge, I moved into the role of Halifax Mortgage Adviser. In 1998 I began to work as a Halifax Personal Financial Adviser, where the range of advice I provided included investments and pensions and I remained in this role until leaving Halifax and joining Mortgage IQ in 2015.
I hold a number of Institute of Financial Services qualifications including Diploma for Financial Advisers (DipFA) and Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice (CeMAP). I have a wealth of expertise and knowledge in all aspects of wealth advice and really enjoy helping customers achieve their financial objectives.
I am a corporate and personal financial planner providing financial advice to both individuals and companies. This includes providing advice and guidance to companies on business wills, shareholder protection, key man insurance and the legal agreements required to sit alongside these types of arrangements*.
I specialise in high net worth wealth management on behalf of my clients and provide advice on mortgages, protection, pensions, investments and inheritance tax planning. I have nearly 20 years' experience in the industry and enjoy working and helping clients achieve their financial goals by providing personal, face-to-face advice.
