Tamara Hopkins, Assistant Paraplanner
In my role of Assistant Paraplanner, I’ve been supporting a paraplanner by sending out review reports, implementing actions out of reviews and making sure clients have a good experience.
I’m a career changer into financial services, in my previous life I led the merchandising function at Superdry, investing money in stock to hit our sales plan. It combined financial planning with reviewing the commerciality of clothes, basically my two favourite things.
I love to wild swim and I’m always looking for new places to dip.
Lara Chilton, Advisor support
I work in Advisor Support, where I help look after the day-to-day administration. My main focus is maintaining strong, reliable relationships with our clients and making sure they have an accurate and stress-free experience.
Over the past couple of years, I’ve worked in client-facing roles, enjoying the chance to help and connect with people. This experience has strengthened my communication skills and my focused, organised approach to data and administration.
I am a twin – so if you ever think you see me out and about acting out of character, it might not actually be me!
Joseph Harper, Advisor Support
As part of the Advisor Support team, I manage queries, coordinate tasks and keep processes on track, helping advisors deliver exceptional service and clients enjoy a smooth, positive experience.
With a 1st class degree in Finance and Investment Banking and close to a decade in luxury sales, I bring both industry knowledge and a strong client-focused mindset. I enjoy building relationships, solving problems, and helping deliver a seamless experience for both advisors and clients.
Outside work, I’m teaching myself to play the guitar and to repair my motorbike.
