About this employer

Having worked for the largest banks on the High Street and large IFA Practices over the last 18 years, Principal of Stoneacre Financial Planning Hugo decided he wanted to offer a more tailored and bespoke service putting the client at the heart of everything he does.

After considering feedback from past clients, who were always disheartened with sudden changes of advisers after only just getting to know them and not building any sort of relationship with them. He wanted to able reassure clients that he would be there for them when they needed him. He therefore aims to build long standing and trusted relationships with all of his clients from the start of their journey together.
