Neil Bell

Background

After leaving further education, I went straight into the financial services industry in 1988.

My first few years were spent in a technical pension capacity, before moving into the provision of face to face advice in 1994.

Since then I have worked as an Independent Financial Adviser and provide advice on personal and corporate solutions.

Qualifications

Chartered Insurance Institute Diploma
&
Diploma in Financial Planning

Area of expertise

Although I provide advice on a wide spectrum of financial planning areas, most of my work for clients tends to concentrate on retirement planning, the investment of capital for either income or growth purposes and protection of estates against inheritance tax.

About me.

I am married and have one daughter. We spend a great deal of my spare time together as a family and enjoy outdoor activities, whether that be in the Lake District or simply cycling through the local countryside.

My hobbies are football and as a member of a local course, I play golf as regularly as I am able. I am also a keen gardener and a member of the Royal Horticultural Society.

I also have a more unusual hobby in that I restore and ride classic scooters and I am an active member of a local club.
