I worked in financial services my entire working life. I founded an IFA practice in 1982 aged 28 and retired from that practice 3 years ago. That business is still going strong. I served on the board of our trade body for 10 years and for 3 years on the Smaller Business Practitioner Panel of the industry regulator the Financial Conduct Authority. I now manage a family property portfolio and look after the investments of my wife and I.
