About
After graduating with an Honours degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Dan worked in this sector for a number of years, eventually establishing his own consultancy company. Working on large projects, such as Heathrow Terminal 5, and the Channel Tunnel, providing specialist support on energy saving systems.
In 2008, looking for a change in direction, Dan decided to move into the financial services sector. After passing the relevant exams he joined a Practice with St. James's Place, providing financial support and advice to clients. In 2012, after a few years finding his feet and developing a client base, he and St. James's Place agreed that he would create his own Practice, Herald Wealth Management, now a Senior Partner Practice of St. James's Place.
Although we have a broad range of clients, we specialise in providing high level advice to medical professionals (GP’s, Dentists and Consultants). He has an in depth understanding of this field and is passionate about helping clients achieve their goals as their financial needs evolve over the years. He believes his clients appreciate the provision of personal, face-to-face advice, which is essential in developing a bespoke financial plan for a client.
Dan regularly conducts seminars across the UK for members of the medical profession, focusing on the complex NHS Pension Scheme and the additional tax liabilities that can be incurred without careful planning. These range from seminars for GP’s with NHS Out of Hours providers to tailored seminars for Consultants at their private hospitals.
Dan enjoys playing golf to a competitive level, with a handicap of 3. He also enjoys running, skiing and used to row at a competitive level.
