Steve at work
I have been a financial adviser since 1996. After a stint as a manager in the mortgage market, I became an investment and pension specialist in 2005. I launched Stonegate Wealth Management in 2015 and we moved into our current home in 2019.
On a day-to-day basis, I am talking to clients. This could be to review the objectives we are working towards or to deal with a change in circumstances. I am also responsible for the smooth running of the business, ensuring we deal with client work in a timely and regulatory compliant manner.
I have been recognised as a Top Rated Adviser every year since 2016 and have featured in the Times, the Telegraph and the Mail on Sunday newspapers.

What do you enjoy most about your job?
It’s an old cliché but working with clients to achieve their aspirations. There is no better feeling when I see a client confident enough to retire based on the advice we have provided.
The important stuff
Firms and individuals must be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to carry out regulated financial service activities. You can view my FCA registration here.
All financial advisers and planners in the UK must meet certain professional standards and requirements set out by the FCA. One of these requirements is to hold a Statement of Professional Standing (SPS).
