Sam Puckey

Paraplanner

What does financial planning mean to me? Financial planning means looking beyond money, helping clients get the best out of their lives with our guidance.

Professionally

Sam started at Smith & Wardle as an Office Assistant in 2022 but has since completed an apprenticeship to earn his Level 4 Certificate in Paraplanning.

He previously worked in pensions administration for Liverpool Victoria and decided to shift to the advice side of the industry after finishing a degree in Business Studies at the University of Hertfordshire.

Getting involved with client’s cases and building up pictures of what they can achieve is at the heart of paraplanning and Sam enjoys the journey of piecing together a client’s circumstances and what solutions Smith and Wardle can bring.

Personally

Away from the office, Sam enjoys running with the local running club, following football, and going up to Anfield to watch matches with his dad and brother. Sam also likes to cook and makes a mean carbonara. He also enjoys gaming and relaxing with a podcast.

The first album I bought was

Sadly, I’m too young to buy a physical album. Sorry!

If I could be any fictional character, I would be

If I could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, I would win a medal in

Tiramisu, chocolate fondant, or sticky toffee pudding

The three qualities that draw me to new people are

Bad drivers (especially people who don’t indicate!!)

The best gift I’ve ever received is

My watch I received for my 21st birthday
