Our Story

Before becoming a Financial Adviser, Lee spent 10 years in the Royal Regiment of Scotland. Towards the end of his military career, he started discussing finances with fellow soldiers and realised many didn’t have a solid savings or a pension strategy in place. For short-term career professionals, it’s vital to think about this early on, particularly if you aren’t going to earn as much in your second career.

After several conversations encouraging colleagues to plan for the future, Lee began to wonder if he had found his second-career calling! Lee soon began his journey with St. James's Place, where his goal is to help you achieve financial peace of mind through straightforward advice and strategic planning.
