Flying Colours & Partners

Nigel Porritt - I am a fully qualified, level 4 Financial Adviser holding the Regulated Diploma in Financial Planning and am currently working towards obtaining Chartered Status. I have 9 years of experience in Financial Services, nearly 3 of which as a Financial Adviser. I am extremely passionate about helping people, particularly those approaching retirement, achieve their aspirations and goals through sound and thorough financial planning. I offer advice in all areas such as pensions, investments, estate planning and protection.

Financial planning is an area which can be complex and I pride myself in offering a friendly, professional service which is presented in a clear and simple way. I am committed to building and maintaining long-term relationships and seeing the results of how my advice has improved my client’s quality of life is what drives me. I am a proud father of 3 children who keep me busy whenever I am not assisting my clients and it is my family that drives me to be the best I can be, ensuring I can provide the best possible start in life for them as I can. In my spare time (which as you can imagine is limited!), I enjoy watching football now that my body doesn’t seem to want to allow me to play anymore!

Alison Beardsell - I am a fully qualified Financial Adviser, holding my diploma in financial planning with both the Chartered Insurance Institute and the Institute of Financial Services. I am also actively working towards attaining Chartered status, with two exams to complete! I have 15 years of experience in financial services, with 12 of these specifically working within financial advice. I provide holistic advice across retirement and pension planning, investment and inheritance tax planning and protection requirements. I am keen to build long-lasting relationships with my clients by listening to their aims and objectives for the future and providing the highest quality, personalised financial advice on a fully independent basis. Outside of the office, I spend most of my time keeping up with my son and his adventures. We like to travel as a family and I also enjoy running and yoga.

We believe in looking after the clients we manage. As experienced chartered financial planners we are able to view the pros and cons of our advice and ensure, on balance, our solutions best meet client needs.
