Previous Experience
James graduated from university in 2011 having studied Broadcasting. After realising he didn’t want to be the next Chris Moyles he decided to try his hand at something a little different. He began his career within the Financial Services industry at a pensions company but soon moved to St James’s Place. Starting as an administrator, he was quickly promoted to paraplanner and began studying, achieving his Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning within 10 months. Following St James’s Place, James worked in the city for Close Brother Asset Management before joining Lyndhurst in 2016.
James has gone on to achieve Chartered status as well as become a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society.
Outside of work, James welcomed his third (and final) child, Noah, into the world in February 2025. Theo, Arthur, and Noah keep James busy but they do give James a chance to enjoy Steam Rallies at which he hopes to one day exhibit an engine of his own.
