About us

Our core purpose is to educate, inspire and empower our clients to live their ideal lifestyle by helping them reach financial independence.

We are here to make your money work harder and help you to make better financial decisions. This is why we exist.

We understand every client has their unique hopes, dreams and fears and for 30 years, we’ve built our reputation on successfully helping our clients pursue their life goals. Whether advising business owners, families or investors, we have a great track record of managing money and helping our clients achieve their objectives. 

We do this by always putting you at the heart of what we do. We take the time to listen and understand what matters most to you and take away the confusion that having money can bring. We have been there for our clients, planning their good times, and sadly, in their bad, making sure when a loved one is no longer with them that their finances move seamlessly to the survivors bringing continuity to their planning.

Our promise to you is straightforward: we are unrelentingly loyal and our empathetic approach means we will treat you like family at all times, protecting and securing your wealth legacy for future generations.

It’s this level of personal care and service we pride ourselves on and the reason so many of our clients recommend us to their family and friends. 

Here are the team who make it happen.

Meet the team

He has in just under 40 years experience of advising clients and lives to educate, inspire and empower his clients to make the right decisions for their future.

His main purpose is to help and educate clients’ so that they can fully understand their financial position and the investments they have. This helps them achieve their goals – no matter what they are – as everyone’s goals and priorities are different. It is with all of this knowledge and insight into what customers want and need that Andy aims to continue to develop the company so that it can maintain direct authorisation status and continue to care for the welfare of its clients.

For Andy, one of the best things about his job is helping people. It’s always a real feel-good moment for both parties when plans come together and everyone is happy.

Fun Fact? Andy is a huge Middlesbrough FC fan! He doesn’t come from there and has never lived in the town, which some may think is a little strange, but nevertheless he has been a loyal supporter since age 11 and will never change!

Andrew has been with Rosemount for over 11 years and has built many happy, long-term relationships with clients in that time. This is particularly important due to his experience of managing investment portfolios and clients increasingly developing their appetite for risk.

Andrew spends the majority of his time advising older clients on pensions and investments in the period leading up to, and into, retirement however he also works with younger individuals and businesses on various types of protection.

His work enjoyment comes from helping his clients to plan and implement their investment or retirement strategies, always ensuring their money is invested perfectly inline with their risk profile. Andrew loves working with long-term clients to help them fulfil their dreams, be that repaying their mortgage early, buying a holiday home or whatever else that may be.

Fun Fact? Andrew is a Munro Bagger! In simple terms, he loves mountain climbing. He has bagged (climbed) over 100 Munros (Scottish mountains over 3,000 ft (914.4m)) and at weekends is often found wondering over the foothills of Essex.
