David Rodricks

What is your average day like:‍

My day generally starts at 9:00 am and finishes at 7:00 pm, with occasional weekend work, especially around year-end. I split my day into four main blocks. The first two hours are dedicated to emails, calls with colleagues, and addressing any urgent matters carried over from the previous day. Following this, I spend time “prospecting,” reaching out to potential clients and referrals who have requested a chat. The next two hours involve internal meetings at Foster Denovo, including fulfilling training and CPD requirements, as it's essential to stay updated on industry changes. The final two hours are devoted to writing and reviewing client reports and catching up on admin—there’s always plenty to manage! Outside work, I enjoy staying fit with gym sessions and Tai Chi classes. I also love travelling and am always on the lookout for deals to far-flung destinations off the beaten track.

What do you like most about your job?

A huge part of my role is guiding and educating clients to make informed financial decisions for themselves and their families. Over time, as we achieve success together, trust naturally deepens. My goal is always to be their “go-to” trusted adviser throughout their lifetime and to carry on supporting the next generation. There’s truly no better job satisfaction!
