Staying Ahead of the Field


Ashton Hoyle are delighted to welcome senior
consultant Stephen Field who has joined the team at
one of the region’s top independent financial
advisers.
Ashton
Hoyle has added to its already enviable team, by
appointing Stephen Field as a senior consultant at
the company. This astute acquisition has
strengthened its position as one of the area's
leading independent financial advisers for affluent
individuals, entrepreneurs and corporate clients.
Stephen’s pedigree in financial planning is
unquestionable – he has 21 years’ experience in the
field, which includes a highly successful stint as
an adviser working for the world’s fifth largest
accountancy network.
Accredited by the Resolution Family Law Society
to oversee pensions in divorce settlements, a
qualified chartered financial planner and certified
financial planner, and a fellow of the Personal
Finance Society, Stephen’s qualifications and
abilities are unrivalled. Stephen, who joined Ashton
Hoyle in January, dislikes working within an
environment where advice models are too rigorously
structured – stifling his drive to explore solutions
that are totally client focused.
“I want to be able to go to a client for the
first time without any preconceived ideas or plans,”
said Stephen. “Some companies only advise clients on
investments and services if they fit within the
firm’s own business model but at Ashton Hoyle it is
different. I’m able to design a plan to accurately
meet the clients’ needs.” He added: “Ashton Hoyle
puts their clients first before any business model,
which enables me to offer them something different
to the others.” Stephen’s impressive array of
diverse skills enables him to provide expert advice
on numerous subjects, including wealth management
and investment planning, but his strongest fields
are inheritance tax planning and tax mitigation. His
priority is to solve clients’ problems by putting
better solutions in place. Founded three years
ago, Ashton Hoyle prides itself in not only offering
tailored investments and protection plans, bespoke
pension solutions, corporate financial planning and
inheritance tax planning but also a first-class
ongoing service. It is proud of its ability to build
close and trusted relationships with its clients, as
it endeavours to enhance its position as an obvious
choice of entrepreneurs and businesses.
Ashton Hoyle is committed to continuously recruit
the right employees capable of providing its
customers with the best all-round service. And, in
securing Stephen’s services, the firm beat off
fierce competition from a number of other
prestigious firms. Managing Director Mark Ashton
said: “Stephen and I have known each for a long
time. I appreciated his integrity and skill set so
when we discovered he was available, we knew we had
to recruit him. “He complements our business well
and we're delighted to have him here.” |
