GET TO KNOW: RICHARD
A member of the SK team tells us a bit more about their life, loves and future plans…
I joined SK Financial towards the end of 2018, having provided outsourced Paraplanning services to the firm since 2014. I am blessed with a wonderful partner in Claire who’s put up with me for nearly 30 years, and two beautiful boys Louis and Isaac who are the light of my life. I have been fortunate to experience many beautiful places, and I count an overland tour from Brazil to Chile and back as the highlight. I am a supporter of Bristol City Football Club and hope to return to Ashton Gate once permitted.

When not hunched over my laptop, I take particular pleasure in reading. I am a bit of a bookworm!
I tend to blitz through authors’ works in sequence rather than choose a book piecemeal. In my twenties it was mainly Tom Sharpe, in my thirties I read practically everything by Ian McEwan, and in my 40’s (and ahem, early fifties) I’ve enjoyed reading Robert Harris. One of my favourites of his is The Fear Index, a thriller amidst the backdrop of high finance. Guiltiest Pleasure – Breaking chunks of Cadburys Dairy Milk Chocolate into the bottom of my Fruit & Nut Muesli of a morning. Shhh! Don’t tell anyone.
