Simon Jackson

Financial Planner

What does financial planning mean to me? Simplifying financial products, so that clients understand what they have now to meet their financial goals for the future.

Professionally

Simon has been in the profession since 1994 gaining experience in nearly all product areas. Most of his career has been spent dealing directly with financial planners.

Day to day Simon regularly meets with clients, helping them with their financial goals.  Simon really enjoys having conversations with clients and letting them know they can retire and spend more money in retirement.

Simon is delighted to be working along side such a great team at Smith & Wardle, with the whole team helping to build relationships with clients.

Qualifications

Personally

Simon is married to Vicki and they have two brilliant children. Simon used to play a good level of football, cricket but is now more than happy to be swimming or cycling or running or doing all 3 after each other.  Simon is the holder of the “indoor ironman distance” Guinness World Record.

Away from the office, he loves competing in triathlons, having completed 3 ironman triathlons or running in local running races from 5k to marathon distance.

When he’s not running, he enjoys watching his children play football, cricket, swimming or running!
