I established Warren and Warren in 1990 and have never looked back since! Having previously worked in the banking sector, I knew this was the only way that I could give my clients the high level of service they deserved, free of the shackles of conflicting corporate demands.

I have never sought to expand Warren and Warren in a way that would compromise my original business philosophy. Instead, I have only grown my business in a progressive and sustainable way. For example, I only hire staff of the highest calibre, who I know will work hard in meeting the requirements of my clients and who will also commit to improving their expertise through progress in professional examinations.

It may sound cliched, but I really do appreciate that the most important aspect of business is the people - both those I work for and those who work for me. I have never forgotten this leading principle and it has always served me well. This is reflected in the extremely low turnover of both staff and clients alike. My clients appreciate the fact that they do not see a string of different people as the years go by - and that I am planning for their future where that is likely to extend beyond my own working life.

My particular strengths lie in the ability to find the most innovative and tax efficient solutions for my clients, whether they be in business, or if they have already retired. More often than not my solutions have been gained from years of personal experience, rather than anything you will read in a textbook or the Sunday papers!
