IQ&Co provides personalised financial planning, including investment planning, retirement planning and protection advice. Our experienced advisers deliver tailored guidance to help you build and protect your wealth while achieving your long-term 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.
