Nigel has been a financial adviser and planner for over 35 years and has been awarded the Advanced Financial Planning Certificate. He is a member of the Personal Finance Society.  
Nigel specialises in pensions and is enthusiastic about the freedoms introduced in 2015 to allow clients to take back control of their retirement planning. He also has a particular interest in investments and the ways in which they can help clients to realise their dreams.
Nigel lives in the Cotswolds with his elderly and loyal labrador, Jack. In his spare time he likes to hike and ski, play tennis and do a bit of cycling and the occasional game of cricket.

“Above all else, I advise clients with a view to increasing their peace of mind about the financial future.” With 25 years’ experience in financial services as an adviser, James has a wide knowledge of financial planning, with particular interest in Inheritance Tax mitigation, trusts, investments and pensions, and long-term care planning.

As partner,James is responsible for encouraging and monitoring the development of knowledge and professional skills within the Practice. James holds a DipPFS. He enjoys music and the theatre and indulges from time to time in performing both, with varied levels of success.

‘Young’ James, as he is known within the walls of Ermin Fosse, provides lifetime financial planning to entrepreneurs, professionals and their families.  With over 10 years of planning experience, he is one of the few advisers in the country to hold both the Chartered and prestigious Certified Financial Planner titles. This technical knowledge, combined with a plain talking personal approach, enables James to help others make more informed, educated and rational decisions - financially or otherwise.

Outside of work, James spends considerable time walking Quincy, his ever energetic and loyal companion. When not spending time with the dog and his family he has been known to play the occasional game of cricket, walk the odd fell or even break into a run now and again. Ultimately though his main passion, and general mood, revolves around the fortunes of Gloucester Rugby Club.

I am one of four Client Relationship Managers and specifically work with James de Lisle Wells, supporting him to provide a great service to his clients.  Day to day I am their first point of contact and available at the end of the phone for anything non-advice related.  I produce the review packs that James takes to client meetings, implement any recommendations made and help with all other client focussed tasks. I find that no two days in the office are the same and most enjoy the variety that this brings.

How do you enjoy spending your spare time?

As one daughter has left for University, I am now only taxi driver to one younger daughter travelling to endless hockey matches. When not standing on the sidelines cheering, I love to go walking with our dog, a mad cocker spaniel!

Following a shaky start to life at Ermin Fosse, Quincy has found his feet.

He hopes to rise through the ranks here and head up a 'client welcoming' department, although he only manages to excercise his skills when he escapes from the top floor office.

Fortunately, our offices are a stones throw away from a big park which keeps him entertained (and tires him out!).
