Gary Charlesworth

Background

On leaving school, I joined the automotive industry taking an initial role in a Service Department, eventually becoming a Truck Rental Manager, before taking the decision to start a new career in Financial Services.

Since 1990 I have worked with major insurance companies and financial institutions such as Prudential, Bradford & Bingley and Barclays, before joining Blake Independent in 2009.

Qualifications

Financial Planning Certificate
Certificate in Mortgage Advice and practice (CeMAP)
I am currently studying for my Financial Diploma.

Area of expertise

Through my various career moves I have been able to gather a wide knowledge and experience across all areas of the industry. I am therefore able to offer my clients a fully comprehensive review offering advice on all their investment and mortgage needs.

About me

I am married and we have a son. I like to dedicate any amount of spare time I have to be spent with them. I am a youth football coach and also enjoy time spent in a good round of golf.
