In his spare time...
Adrian is married to an incredibly supportive wife and has two amazing daughters. When he is not being a family man he follows his goal to keep in shape (having previously being in very bad shape!) through regular gym sessions, running ultra marathons and crawling through mud-filled ditches at obstacle course races (and breaking the occasional bone).
Adrian’s clients often value his directness and energy. Outside work, that shows up in ultra marathons, obstacle races and the occasional broken bone. Inside work, it shows up in a determination to help clients face the numbers properly, make decisions early, and stay financially organised for the long run.
Adrian’s clients…
“It’s evident to me that Adrian has a deep understanding of financial management and planning. Fixed low-cost charges offer great value for investors with small or large funds/assets and are easily understood. I consider the service to be first class and it regularly exceeds my expectations. I honestly don’t think I could suggest improvements as Adrian is in front of me with innovation and change.”
“I appreciate how Adrian always has time to listen. He addresses all points raised with practical advice and demonstrates how to approach situations with a different solution, if maybe your first idea wasn’t the best – always turning a negative into a positive.”
“Adrian is very thoughtful and looks at things in a very different manner to most. Adrian approaches financial planning from a long-term ‘safe and secure’ approach which helps when you as a business owner are too focused on the day-to-day running of matters.”
“The financial life planning software that Adrian uses helps predict your financial future which can help determine what cashflow you will need to sustain your retirement. This can be quite eye-opening! Clearly it is better to know about this sooner rather than later as you can make changes during your working life rather than arriving at retirement and finding out you do not have enough money to retire with!”
“No questions are too silly to ask and Adrian has a great ‘bedside’ manner which is so important when dealing with pensions which are so complicated and difficult to understand. I can’t recommend him highly enough and will be consulting him in the future on other financial matters.”
“Adrian’s knowledge and personal expertise in personal finance is vast. This gives me absolute confidence to recommend both Adrian and his company Chatfield to anyone who needs detailed financial planning advice.”
