Michael Hawthorne
Associate Director, Chartered Financial Planner
Mike believes that personal financial planning is as much personal as it is financial. He delivers advice in a way that reflects this, to provide something that is truly tailored. He likes to make the complex as simple as possible by cutting through industry jargon to talk in a language that we all understand.
As well as being a highly qualified adviser, Mike also engages with other industry experts to improve standards. He is the Vice President for the Chester and North Wales CII Standards Council, is part of the Personal Finance Society’s Practitioner Power Panel and works with the Chartered Insurance Institute in the setting of exams for developing financial advisers.
Outside of Financial Planning, Mike enjoys being outdoors, travel and the occasional round of golf, although he will say he is much better with a calculator than he is a golf club!

What our clients say
S Hughson
I find Mr Sutherland to be professional, knowledgeable, intelligent and with a great range of product information. He obviously knows his stuff as my pension is working well and continues to grow. He communicates well and his bi-annual meetings are fun, chatty, informative and when he leaves, I always feel financially energised.
