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 fi ies) 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.
