With an additional six mortgage and financial advisers on the team we have a wealth of knowledge and expertise, yet still maintain the traditional values, principles and personal service established by Charlie and Iain. All our staff are extremely well qualified, professional, as well as being friendly and approachable.

read moreI worked for Abbey Life before joining Charlie and Iain at Albyn Associates in 2000. We became independent financial advisers in 2002 and I became a partner in 2003. Being a financial adviser brings many pleasures in helping our valued clients in all manner of circumstances. I am happily married to Bev with two wonderful children and I enjoy a social game of golf and listening to my eclectic taste in music. I left school in 1983 and joined my local bank as a junior and by the time I left in 2000 I was a senior business banking manger.
