Thomas Shoebridge
Financial Consultant
thomas.shoebridge@shipmanmwm.co.uk
I joined Shipman Monahans Wealth Management in September 2017, having previously worked for a number of Financial Advisor firms, including a high street bank and investment platform provider. I enjoy the challenges of the ever changing financial legislation, which constantly shapes the advice that I provide.
I began my career in finance by providing mortgage advice for a large independent brokerage, although I soon found that I wanted to expand my knowledge to provide advice on all aspects of Financial Planning. Therefore, after initially providing technical support as a paraplanner, and having attained my Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning, I have now been providing independent advice for a number of years.
My qualifications and experience cover all aspects of Financial Planning and Wealth Management.
