In the office

Gareth has more than 20 years of financial services experience.

Qualified to advise across all areas of financial planning, he specialises in pension planning for people who are both pre- and post-retirement.

His particular area of expertise is in the use of small self-administered schemes (SSAS) for business owners; he regularly works with senior execs, directors and owners to help them achieve their financial objectives.

Gareth is qualified to the highest level being Fellow status. He works closely alongside the CII in devising regulatory exams for financial services professionals.

Off the clock

Gareth is married with three kids who keep him busy – most ‘free’ time is spent in the role of taxi driver between their various sporting activities!

The other member of the family is Rosa the Labradoodle who very much helps keep him sane.

When he does have some time to himself, you can often find Gareth at Horwich Swimming Club in Bolton where he is the acting Chairman.

Importantly

It’s important to always check the credentials of any financial planner you’re considering working with. You can view Gareth’s important information below.

Stratagem explain everything clearly to me and are very patient with my questions. They respond to phone calls and emails promptly and give me regular updates. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Gareth was recommended to me. I liked his detailed approach to my circumstances. He always fully explained the advice he put forward in a way that my wife and I could understand.
