About

With a career spanning back to 1988, Robert has dedicated himself to guiding clients through their financial journeys as a seasoned financial planning and wealth adviser. He is a Senior Partner at The Private Office and is based in Yorkshire. He works from our head office in Leeds and also our London office, supporting clients across the UK including York, Salford and Banbury.

As an experienced Chartered Financial Planner, Robert’s expertise lies in delivering comprehensive financial counsel to individuals and families across a spectrum of financial planning domains. From adept investment management to meticulous retirement planning, personal financial structuring, and establishing tax-efficient frameworks, he specializes in ensuring a holistic financial approach

Robert’s clientele is diverse, ranging from families to enterprising entrepreneurs and business owners, where he offers strategic insights into financial and legacy planning, including nuanced guidance on Lifetime Cashflow Planning and navigating the financial complexities following the loss of a key stakeholder. 

As a member of our Family Office team, Robert collaborates closely with fellow professionals in tax, law, banking, and accountancy to optimize outcomes for his clients across the UK. Additionally, he lends his expertise as an Expert Witness in cases concerning disputed investments, leveraging his knowledge and experience to provide invaluable insights. 

Throughout his career, Robert has held diverse roles - from director to managing partner to heading investment committees - yet his focus has always remained on client advisory, which he has always enjoyed the most. Grounded in principles of simplicity, empathy, persistence, and integrity, Robert believes in unravelling intricate financial dilemmas, strategies, and solutions in a language that resonates with all of his clients. Over the years, he has cultivated expertise in the Media and Entertainment industry, specifically catering to the distinctive financial needs of high-profile individuals and their families within the music realm. As one can imagine, there are other challenges that arise when the client is a cherished household name. 

When he is not providing financial counsel to his clients, Robert enjoys staying fit, running, country pursuits, motor racing, and spending time with his family in the Yorkshire countryside.
