James Bowers

What is your average day like:
My perfect day is waking up to a warm summer morning, walking my dog and then going to the gym. If I can, I would love to fit in a game of badminton or paddle before having some brunch with my partner. The afternoon will be for relaxing in the sun listening to music (if there is a pool or beach nearby, even better!). I would finish the day off with an Italian dinner and red wine with my partner and/or friends.
What do you like most about your job?
It is incredibly rewarding seeing clients achieve all their goals after working with them for many years and helping them along that journey. I also love the technicalities of financial planning it can be the same feeling as solving a complex puzzle!
