Laura Ripley

What is your average day like:
In the week, a productive client meeting where we make some progress on the planning or a complex case is always a winner. At the weekend – daytime: with wellies on exploring the outdoors with my little one and the evening: with good food, wine, and family/friends.
What do you like most about your job?
I guess I should say the people (because they are nice!), but it is the problem-solving part. This has always been something I have enjoyed: the challenge of working through a planning case with multiple objectives and many variations of ifs, buts and maybes.
How long have you worked in Financial Services
18 years. Since 2007.
