Financial Planner

This is my first role in the financial services profession, and I have fallen in love with it.

Professionally

Christian fell in love with personal finance and helping his family and friends with their finances at the start of 2020, which lead to one of his friends suggesting he should become a financial planner. Christian joined Smith and Wardle in November 2020 and just a few days after his one-year anniversary at the company (much to his annoyance) received his Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning from the Chartered Insurance Institute.

Christian’s role on a day-to-day basis involves providing support to both Helena and Jon as well helping the growing number of his own clients achieve their financial and life goals.

Christian enjoys the fact that that no day is the same and that he is part of a forward-thinking group of people who help and support each other to provide the best possible service to all Smith and Wardle clients.

Personally

Christian is hardworking, competitive, and sociable who enjoys spending time with family and friends.

In his spare time he loves to be active – he regularly goes to the gym, plays 5-a-side football and is an avid skier.

His passion for music has led to the creation of a music events company which regularly puts on nights in the home counties and has plans to expand to the rest of the UK in the future.

Finally, Christian loves to travel and experience new countries and cultures.
